What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

"11 years and this vehicle is still great!"

"This has been my daily driver since I bought it 11 years ago. It had 86,000 miles when I bought it and I have put over 100,000 miles on it. I have 6 kids and it was so comfortable for them. I have driven it on trips to Arizona, Utah, California, Colorado, and New Mexico. It has never let us down. The seat mechanisms didn't last and the console in the front broke. Other than that, minor repairs expected of any vehicle this age with this much wear and tear. If I needed a vehicle with this much room again, I would definitely buy! This has made us Chevy people! I had an explorer before and would absolutely never go that route again..."

"Best vehicle that I have owned."

"We bought the Burb with about 56,000 miles on it in 2008. This has been a good vehicle and have not had any engine problems with it. Break lines rusted out and some seals were replaced and all seemed to happen around the 88,000 mile mark. Had a full tune up at 100,000 miles. Master cylinder went out at about 123,000. I wish the body would have held up better than I wouldn't be selling it. Out of five vehicles this was always our go to for trips."

"Best car ever"

"We have had this car for 13 years and it has been amazing. It has over 240K miles and still runs like a dream. Very few repairs have been required other than expected things. Will definitely buy another one but still expect to drive this a few more years."
