We travel alot and enjoy our performance and the toom!

We travel alot and enjoy the room. Very comfortable! We feel very safe. We also camp and pull a travel trailor. I would gladly recommend this vehicle. Its fun to drive as well. We have over 150,000 miles with no real issues. We do keep it regularly maintained. We also enjoy our heated seats and I also enjoy watching movies on long trips. We used to carry three dogs around , and we had plenty of room. .

Best Truck I have ever owned!

I bought my Suburban brand new in 2011 due to another baby on the way! Three boys in total and very large dogs! I refuse to get another truck and will happily drive my Suburban until it dies. Heavy duty and fast and I feel my family is very safe in it! Never had any problems, only thing needed was new breaks and tires but that’s from basic wear and tear! If the day comes that my Suburban dies I will replace it with a new Suburban!!!!

A+ -- If you know what it is, you won't find any surprises here.

My few comments are related to the driveline, axles & springs in particular. Not really complaints, more observations. This vehicle is a Suburban body fitted to a 3/4 commercial truck chassis. So, it has heavier controls and the rough ride of a commercial truck. It isn't a complaint, it just goes with the territory. The more common Suburban 1500 models don't do this. I bought my Suburban 2500 used, so I was able to avoid the full price (over 60K, from what I heard). It was apparently an ex-government vehicle since it was austere trim-wise but no expense spared in the driveline. And, there was evidence that there was post-manufacture electrical devices added, now removed in the console. It needed a backup camera, and I added in-dash GPS. I highly recommend these two details. Otherwise, it's unchanged. GM got this model right. It's as handy as a Jeep but has a *lot* more space. The main attraction was the driveline-it's the same as my worktruck (6.0L L96 engine, auto trans, 2500 series). It has power in industrial quantity - more than the suspension can handle. That's most likely the result of extra towing capacity that I don't use. Consider whether you really need a 2500. The 1500s are excellent, they're always in production, cost less, and have a superior ride. The 5.3L engine has less power, and I don't like the AFM (device than shuts off "unneeded" engine cylinders at light cruise), otherwise they're good too. I planned on this vehicle being used for many things (business/commercial jobs, moving household stuff, etc) so the 2500 was a good choice for our application. I hadn't considered the social impact it has. Apparently the recent Suburbans are quite the status symbol. Suddenly friends and neighbors needed rides, Suburban please. Don't take this vehicle when you're in search of a bargain, or plan to haggle. New to Suburbans? If you haven't driven a vehicle this large before, test drive one. Also, this applies to the re-badged Suburbans too. (GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade) If you buy one, get experience on the open road before driving in close quarters, especially narrow city streets. Also, there's something a little different about the driving experience of the Suburban, I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Caution: they're similar to potato chips. Except more compelling. There was second 2500 Suburban for sale next to the one that I eventually bought, I considered going back and buying that one too. These are serious driveway decorations. One of my children bought one (a 1500 elsewhere) shortly afterwards, so we spent a little time comparing them. Summary-this one's a keeper.

Has major oil pressure problems

Suburbans, Tahoe's, and pickups around 2011 that have the 5.3 L vortec lc9 motor with the displacement on demand feature, get it checked frequently they can lose oil pressure and cost a lot of money to fix.

The ultimate in Mobile Lounges

We use our 'Burb for long haul and around town trips. It has been easy on the wallet to maintain and to fuel up. I love it! Its larger rear view mirrors and hauling capacity are hard to beat and yet it has 3 rows of seating. Visibility is very good.

Great vehicle

I love our Suburban. It holds our family, including our big dogs, comfortably. Great ride. Good on fuel for its size. Sunroof, cruise control, heated seats, even in the second row. Roomy and lots of windows.

Chevrolet 2011 Suburban 2500 LS = Home run

I come from a time when vehicles had significant reliability issues (carburetors, ignition points, quality issues with electronics, rust....). These issues are gone with the newer Suburbans. From that perspective, my review numbers may appear high. I now understand why this specific model has been in uninterrupted production since the 1930s - it has more uses than time permits here. And also explains why so many are on the road. Addiction warning! Suburbans are like really expensive potato chips. It's safe to say we'll have another when this one's done. My example is a 2500 (3/4 ton commercial truck chassis), I strongly suspect the more-common 1500 Suburbans are just as good, except with a smoother ride & more features.

At Jacks Radiator and Garage, They have replace the motor in our suburban with 200k miles and this week we had the replace the transmission. The Suburban was in great shape so we felt it was cost worthy. Thank you guys for a quick and great job.
