The longest-running nameplate in automotive history—a massive, body-on-frame SUV that's been hauling families and the Secret Service for decades. The 5.3L and 6.0L V8s are reliable; the new ones have AFM issues. It's a tank.
The Suburban is a full-size, body-on-frame SUV. It's the long-wheelbase version of the Tahoe. Engines: 5.0L V8, 5.7L V8, 6.0L V8, 5.3L V8, 6.2L V8, 6.5L diesel V8, or 3.0L Duramax diesel. Transmissions: 3-speed auto (THM400), 4-speed auto (4L60E/4L80E), 6-speed auto, 8-speed auto, or 10-speed auto.
The 5.3L V8 is the workhorse—reliable. The 6.0L V8 is a beast—reliable. The 6.2L V8 has AFM lifter issues. The 10-speed auto (10L80) is excellent. The Suburban is a reliable SUV, but the 6.2L V8 is a risk.
