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.

Super Sub - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By hw101 - February 6 - 2:00 amIve had eight Subs and they keep getting better. Only reason for trading this one is to get an 04. I just hate the so called "professional" reviewers that always knock the size of the vehicle. I say, if they want to live where all you can drive is a match box, that your choice, just dont trash the most perfect vehicle in the world for the real world drivers.

Great SUV - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By tone - January 21 - 2:00 amWhen I bought this ( we call it the bus) I expected 12 mpg but I am getting 18 which is a surprise. I will never buy anything I have enjoyed more!

My used SUB - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By WINGED LION - November 22 - 2:00 amThis is a comfortable, smooth riding SUV! Already own GM truck for years with same engine and Trans. Both smooth and powerful. Visibility restricted when backing up. Go over a few curbs due to its length. Dont want to drive anything else because of feeling of good size and safety.

Excellent Truck - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By genesisdj - November 18 - 2:00 amI think the suburban/tahoe/yukon trucks are the best SUV on the planet. They handle great, never rattle, are quiet, awesome vehicles. Keep up the good work

Chevy Rocks! - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By AnneK - October 16 - 2:00 amWe frequently pull a 26 travel trailer as well as use this truck for every day use running the family around, and this truck performs beautifully. Winter weather does not affect the stability of the vehicle either. The "Auto 4WD" option is the best feature to have during those trips when the road conditions fluctuate between slippery/ice/snow to just wet. We went from a Tahoe to the Suburban and will never pick anything but Chevy when it comes to future purchases.

I love suburbans - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By Bigrig - August 3 - 2:00 amThis is my sixth Suburban, and even tho the family is grown, there is always "stuff" (and grandkids)to haul! The auto 4WD is great in our rotten winters and it is extremely stable even in 2WD! Build quality and reliability are great, although the interior is rather plain in comparison to older models!

not up to old quality - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By john t. - July 28 - 2:00 amproblems with engine oil use, stalling engine, air conditioner, pulley, tensioner, cheaper build than older model chevy trucks. i bought new a 95 tahoe...no problems, no oil use, no complaints with the tahoe at all (still have tahoe with 162k miles). 42k should buy a great truck! it did not.

It saved my life - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban
By Rev Peter - July 16 - 2:00 am6 months after we bought our Suburban, we had an accident that totalled our 26 trailer (it flipped on its side) and did significant ($10,000) damage to the truck. All four wheel remained on the ground and the sherriffs dept told us they had had three SUVs flip earlier in the week. After the truck was repaired, there was only one mechanical problem with the truck, which was fixed in less than an hour.
