2003 Suburban is a beast

I've owned a 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 LS for 20 years, 198,595 miles and it's still going strong...I've consistently changed the oil and have never had any issues. Of the 8 cars I've owned, including a 2012 Mercedes GL450, a 2006 Volvo 740, the Chevy is the most reliable, comfortable and least expensive car I've owned.

Most versitile vehicle I've ever owned

Comfortable, reliable, safe useful - all describe my 17 years with this wonderful vehicle. I've kept it well-maintained and it's returned the favor with hassel-free years of service. Whenever anything was breaking (a rare occurrence) it was promptly fixed. Snow, rain, sun - all was handled with ease. Towed trailers and vehicles in all kinds of weather - no problems. This has been a GREAT experience!

Great SUV, minimal maintenance needed

The 03 Surburban met my household needs for my family and me. The exterior was in great shape, and I could tell that they had did a thorough interior cleaning. Engine was clean and nice, and needed only minor maintenance. Thats a win win in my book.

Love it

Drives like a dream, parts everywhere, over 205k and still felt new. I miss my favorite vehicle and just wish I got the 2500. Took this truck everywhere, from driving to work to traveling over the U.S.

It started failing at 360000 miles.

I've owned 7 new Suburbans between 1984 and 2003. I bought this new 2003 1500 4x4 and I drove it 15 years while having it regularly serviced at the Chevy dealer. Only the transfer case failed. By far, Best car I've ever owned.

Very Dependable

Very dependable. Great for traveling and road trips. Third row can be removed for more room. With regular maintenance vehicle will last a very long time
