Rented this gorgeous vehicle in California with only 3k miles on the odometer. In about 2 weeks, drove 5,000 miles across several states. Almost all highway, with maybe 5 miles of unpaved roads. Four people and 4 carry-on pieces of luggage. Car is very comfortable. The ride is good, given the size. A lot of space. The glass roof is amazing for sight-seeing. It is huuuuuuuuge. I love everything about this car, especially the numerous outlets for devices. Two problems: Carplay integration isn't perfect. One time the screen became unresponsive and jittery. Had to turn off the car and let it cool. Also, no built-in navigation. Not cool for when you are beyond phone service. Then, in the middle of nowhere...the engine began knocking. With no warning other than a sudden light on the dash. Was afraid we would not make it to the nearest city. We did, but it was scary to drive with knocking sound. I say engine knock because the sound only became worse when car was under load, such as when pulling uphill. As if someone took a metal rod and banged it on a metal bucket. Really, really not cool for a car of this caliber with only 8k miles on it. No load, just 4 passengers and steady highway speeds. Before this issue, I was seriously considering purchasing this car for my needs. But after this happened, I will hold off.

Bought this a week ago. Has everything and more. Premier model is amazing
Great MPG and looks very good on the road. This thing should take us into the next decade! We get lots of compliments and the best thing if all us that it’s a reliable vehicle
Haven’t purchased a car in a decade but we needed to upgrade for space and towing capabilities. So far everything has been amazing. Lots of compliments.
Everything if your looking for style and comfort

I paid extra 5k to buy My Chevy Suburban after I had already put a deposit down for a Chevy Tahoe and couldn’t get it in Florida on the original Delivery date. My Sales guy called me said he had a Black on Black with black interior suburban that came in that you would probably like it is not the Tahoe but for only 4 k more it has the panoramic sunroof & bucket seats.I said okay that will work Well worth the extra 9k the money I put down was basically eating up the upside down ness as I drive it off the lot. Highly recommend thanks Stu at Chevy in Sanford Fl Tell them Matt Referred you. They will give you 1ST CLASS TREATMENT! Guaranteed! 🙌🏻

I have owned 3 Suburbans including a 2002 LS a 2003 Z71 and this 2021 RST Durmax diesel. It is 4WD with the luxury package, power folding seats, panoramic sun roof, rear media package and sliding center console. My new Suburban is like going from the stone age to the space age with all the technological advancements. The rear media package is a must for long trips where we can watch Netflix movies and other things with a connected Amazon Fire TV stick. The mileage is great and the torque is amazing. If you are looking for a luxury good looking large SUV this is the one to get
Very comfortable

I have owned two Tahoe SUV's a 2007 & 2011. I purchased my 2021 Suburban which is just a bigger Tahoe in September 2021. I wanted a Tahoe, but the shortage issues put me in a suburban. I loved my 2007- Z71 and let it go at 80,000 miles to buy my 2011-LTZ. Which I still own, and it has 195,000 miles on it. The only problem with my 2011 was a bad Torque converter which I caught very early and saved my Transmission. My 2007 had the same problem and it took out the Trans. All was covered by warranty. The only other issues were a cracking dash which chevy pretty much covered. Other than that, it was just normal maintenance. So, I took the leap and bought another because over all these trucks have been awesome. The key to the mileage is service. I was a mechanic in the Army and service my vehicles early and often. I have been under my new 2021 and it doesn't look as heavy duty as my 2007 or 2011. But it is built the same V8 rear wheel drive on frame. Framed vehicles are much safer and hold up better in my opinion. I have put 5500 miles on the truck and the only issue I have had is the third-row seat belt beauty bracket in the headliner was broken when installed. Other than that, no issues. I believe the quality is there and don't expect any issues after looking it over. What I don't not like about the vehicle is the lack of a key (push button start) and the buttons instead of a shift lever to put the vehicle in drive / reverse. I am keeping my finger crossed but expect this will be problem points later when the vehicle ages. I am hoping for another 200,000 miles out of this truck, time will tell. As far as comfort these trucks are like riding in your living room. I love them.
SPACE
Worried about reliability
Absolutely the space this car has. I have the RST w/ Luxury package . Little upset this still did not come With Navigation with this price tag. With four kids this has all the space you need and rides smooth. Had a 2021 Tahoe before . Still worried about this Engine (same as my Tahoe) as it failed at around 3,500 miles….GM knows they have a lifter /pushrod issue with these cars. Still nervous on all our summer road trips !
