This Year's Model Updates:

The base trim level has been dropped. New for this year on LS are standard six-way power driver and front passenger seats, heated outside mirrors, exterior side steps that make getting in and out easier and the HomeLink system that can be programmed to control automatic garage doors or community gates all from one keypad. 5300 V8s can now burn gasoline/ethanol mixed fuels.

Pros:
  • Choice of powerful Vortec V8s, cavernous cargo space, room for nine.
Cons:
  • Gas guzzler, its massive size is a liability in urban areas.

  • 2002 LT - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    We bought the vehicle because of 4 kids and needed more legroom than our GMC Safari. Kids never complain about legroom (even with 2 teenagers). The vehicle is great on long trips. It is a very comfortable ride. We have not really had any mechanical issues, but have had the radio system replaced once (the digital clock kept resetting to 1:00) but the dealer was great about the warranty work. I like the 4- wheel ABS and OnStar.

    Great! I use it to haul my family and to tow a camper. Outstanding power, comfort, and extemely reliable.

  • Love my Burb - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    The 2002 Suburban has been an excellent ride. 90% of miles are on major, crowded, dangerous interstate. Car has held up very well w/almost no maintenance needs. Super comfortable. What I pay in gas is made up for in safety and comfort. Its the best car Ive ever had.

  • The Burb - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban

    Its been great with the exception of having to replace the catalytic converter which cost a few bucks! Sufficient power, drives smaller than it is, very quiet.

  • Second time around - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    This my second Suburban, having owned a 1999 LT. The bucket seats in the center row make getting in and out of the back seat very easy, especially for children. Third row folds and locks into place. We take it on long trips and are quite comfortable. Rides great for a truck.

  • White LT 4x4 - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    We bought our Sub after a minivan and station wagon. Nothing compares to it. It has great room to fit the family very comfortably. I love this truck. We bought it with 12k miles on it and have had no major problems. Fuel economy is decent considering the mass you are driving. We get 16-17 mpg on open road, and 11-12 around town. It is very capable in wintry weather, very stable and confidence inspiring. Auto 4x4 works great.

    Drives great, quiet ride. I have not had any problems with the vehicle.

  • My old SUV on Sterioids - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    Cowboy caddy, redneck limosine were some nick names for the Burb that I used to utter in my mind when I would see one pass me in my 4Runner on the interstate back in my supremely loyal Toyota owning days. To be swayed away from Toyota to Chevy by the impressive Suburban should speak volumes to not only Toyota and other SUV designers but to the droves of rabid Toyota SUV loyalists (me being a former one). This ride rocks.

  • Great family hauler - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    The Suburban pulls my 4500lb boat effortlessly. I was very impressed with the stability and performance under heavy load. The drive train is very well matched to this size vehicle. I have only had minor problems all of which were addressed by the Chevrolet dealership. They included a freon leak in the a/c system, a rattle in the steering linkage, and a malfunctioing seatbelt.

  • 2002 Suburban Z-71 - 2002 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    This vehicle is like driving your family room down the interstate. Comfortable and great engine with plenty of power. Z-71 looks great and stiffer suspension prevents back-end from "wallowing" at hi-speeds as some of the other larger SUVs do. Plenty of room for adults in all rows. We use the On-Star system a lot...great feature. Tows excellent. Consider the rear buckets as an option is you have small children and dont mind loosing the extra seat. This makes it easy to get into the back while traveling.
