Overview & Reviews

The self-proclaimed "king of the full-size sport-utility segment" was completely redesigned last year, yet 2001 still sees improvements to the powertrain. Chevy has upped the horsepower rating of the Vortec 6000 to 320, and 360 foot-pounds of torque is now made at 4,000 revs. A new 8.1-liter engine cranks out 340-horsepower at 4,200 rpm and 455 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm. You can maintain a relationship with your mechanic on a less intimate level, thanks to an increase in the recommended oil change interval from 7,500 miles to 10,000 miles.

• Choice of powerful Vortec V8s, cavernous cargo space, room for nine.

• Gas guzzler, its massive size a liability in urban areas.

  Dont buy a Chevy Suburban - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
  By andrew allocco - March 3 - 2:00 am

  The top of the line LT model is a piece of junk. Within first year the AC fan motor broke, front seat rails were cracked,front shock absorber bad, driver heated seat doesnt heat, engine pings and knocks real bad even if using high test,other people have same problem, fuel gauge doesnt read correctly,electrical problem with clock/radio (a friend who also owns a 2001 LT has same problem) Chevy makes these trucks in Mexico.The quality just isnt there. Friend has had to replace electric window motor on the same door three times in the past 2 years with AC Delco Mexican parts they repeatedly broke. Chevy/GM customer service is a joke.
