Overview & Reviews
Half-ton models now feature standard Hydroboost brakes, a tire-pressure monitoring system and newly styled 16- and 17-inch aluminum wheels. Two-wheel-drive models with traction control now feature a locking rear differential, and the trailering package includes a 7-to-4 pin brake wiring adapter. For added safety, there is now a front passenger seatbelt reminder. Lastly, Chevrolet has lowered the output figures for the Vortec 8100 -- the engine is now rated at 320 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque.
- Choice of powerful V8 engines, Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system, cavernous cargo space, room for nine.
- Massive size can be tough in tight confines, vague steering feel, cheap interior plastics.

I love this truck!!! - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By Kye McElhaney - January 27 - 2:00 amFrom the moment I test frove this vehicle, I was sold. For the price, I found no vehicle in its class that could come close. I tested the Ford Expedition on a rather long trip and was not impressed at all with its room or ride. I was sold on the suburban for all the extras that came with it and at the cost. This is a "must try" from anyone in the market for a family friendly SUV.

By Eddie T. - January 24 - 2:00 amThis is the one Ive always wanted and Im glad its the 2004. Nice sound system and interior! The ride is very impressive also. I feel like buying something big to haul just because I own a Suburban. No regrets!

Love Suburbans - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By suzysuburban - January 22 - 2:00 amThis is our second Suburban! It is the only car we will consider! We have 3 kids and 4 dogs. We haul kids to soccer, swim team and drive in style when my husband and I are out on the town. This car manuevers in tight spots and can go anywhere!!!

EXCELLENT - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By PAUL GILES - January 3 - 2:00 amI HAVE OWNED MANY IMPORTS IN MY LIFE INCLUDEING THE NEWLY RELEASED SUV HONDA PILOT. THE FIT AND FINISH AND DRIVEABILITY OF THE SUBURBAN IS UNCOMPARABLY BETTER! THE INTERIOR ROOM, RELIABILITY AND GAS MILEAGE FAR EXCEED ANY IMPORT I HAVE RESERCHED AND OWNED.

Comfortable, but poorly made - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By Airborne! - November 22 - 11:21 amI have a love hate relationship with this vehicle. I love how it drives, feels and looks, but hate its overall quality and dependability. Since 2004 this vehicle has slowly fallen apart due to cheap materials and design. I have another non GM vehicle I have had since 2000 which has fared so much better and looks so much newer. Starting with the big ticket items this vehicle has had 2 new engines and 2 new transmissions, neither under warranty of course. The engine due to main bearing failures and the transmissions due to the fact that one seems to lead to the other.With at least this model of Suburban it seemed like they started designing and building a good vehicle and then gave up at some point and put whatever cheap stuff they could to cut costs. Things that they know you would be touching or handling 50 times a day like the stereo knobs have become broken and badly worn. The electronic controls for the climate system have gone wacky and replaced a couple of times. The overhead DVD system has fallen out of its mount twice due to poor design of the bracket and screws. And not a big deal, but what is with Chevy and offset steering columns on these vehicles? Another very annoying issue is the seat belts. This was the model year that they added the bell to remind you if someone in the front does not have on their seat belt. The thing will jump all over you quickly and incessantly. I have no issue with this except the seat belt themselves can tell you they are latched via the warning sound stopping and then you hit a bump or move around and the belt suddenly becomes unlatched while driving down the road. Not well designed or very safe. The great part is it drives like a dream. It drives much smaller than its size with decent handling and acceleration. Breaking can be a bit weak, but acceptable. It also looks great. At least to me it is one of the better looking Suburban designs. The interior, although very cheaply made overall, has huge space for people with tons of storage room. On a long trip this thing is a dream. Well except for the gas mileage, but for this size of vehicle it is acceptable to me. Overall I would never recommend anyone buy one of these used or even new for that matter unless you plan on buying a new one every 2 to 3 years before they start to come apart. GM seems to design for "initial quality" these days. That is why you hear all the best initial quality awards on TV and in magazines. They design them to last just long enough for you to lease or buy a new one in 3 or so years. If not for the fact I can find other similar vehicles that last much longer then that would be ok.

Suburban - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
By excal - August 6 - 10:00 amWe bought our first Tahoe in 1996 and have upgraded twice to better Suburbans. One in 1997 and just recently. The brakes have been a problem in the past but now seem to have that fixed in the newer Suburban. That was the only thing I didnt like about drivng the Suburban and Tahoe were the unreliable brakes.
