  Chevy Suburban goes the extra mile - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Rodney Martin - August 18 - 8:58 pm

  I bought the Suburban brand new in 2003. It now has 240,000 miles. Ive reapolstered the front seats, installed a new stereo system with blue tooth, installed Flow Master Exhaust and put new rims on it. I love this vehicle. It is a great ride, has been very reliable. Ive never been left on the roadside with this vehicle. Weve followed the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule and its still going strong. Ive heard of Suburbans going over 400,000 miles. Im shooting to break the record, then put a new engine in it and keep this thing forever. We love it so much, we bought the GMC version of this GMC Yukon Denali, and we love it even more.

  The Best Generation of Burb Yet...a JOY - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By corpstothecore - September 17 - 11:59 pm

  We owned a ’03 1500 LT Sub for five years before finally upgrading to a 2500 same year color (White). The first huge difference is the ¾ ton’s rear leaf springs which really smooth out the worst part of I-40 at Yukon, OK…blop-blop-blop-blop-blop all the way in most truck with coil springs in all four, but not the case with the beefy beast. Handling is a dream with hardly any body role, which is remarkable for such a huge high sitting comfort ride. New vehicles are still advertising amenities as something special which these GM trucks have offered for over a decade! It’s a true luxury go anywhere ultra-comfort ride that puts a smile on faces and is fun as well as a joy to drive off-road &...

  The best in large SUVs - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By quickjack - September 1 - 6:58 am

  I had my Suburban for 2 years, and during that time racked up 25,000 miles without issue. Aside from being one of the most reliable vehicles I have had, it was also the most comfortable, more so than my Jaguar or Cadillac. I averaged 15 mpg city and 19 highway. I used it as a tow vehicle at times, where it pulled a 4000lb car plus trailer without breaking a sweat, even managing 14 mpg on the freeway doing it. The big truck was deceptively easy to drive, even in the worst of weather. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a large people mover.

  2003 Chevy Surburban LT - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By mrwholesaler - October 29 - 5:33 pm

  GREAT CAR!!!! I love this truck, it runs out awesome. I have been a auto wholesaler for over 17 yrs and never owned such a wonderful truck. We have owned this truck for over 4 years and its running smooth with 150k on it. I replaced the water pump, fuel pump and alternator thats it. We drive to NJ from Florida three times a year with a family of five and its the best. So comfortable on long trips.. Its great on fuel if I keep it at 75mph it will do 17mpg in the city 15mpg with the big chrome wheels.. I will never buy any other suv again unless its a Suburban. Wish they had a diesel

  2500 8.1 - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By mikesbrunn - January 2 - 11:40 am

  I have just passed 96000. miles. The only maintanence has been oil and trans fluids. I have never even had the brakes done. I use this to tow a 24 ft box trailer with an antique car, weight is 11,000 lbs. We have been thru the Rocky Mt 3 times and this truck pulls effortly. I would buy a new one but no 8 liters are made anymore.

  Great vehicle. Almost bought a "new style" Expedition and am glad I didnt. I havent had a Suburban/Tahoe for over 6 years and GM really has improved.

  Fantastic - 2003 Chevrolet Suburban
  By R1Ryder - April 8 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle is truly the king of the road. I use it to tow my two race bikes and for family trips. I love the bose system and onstar. I added my own dvd entertainment system with two 7" monitors in the headrest and one in the dash. A great suv for the buck.
