Don't waste your money on the 1500 platform version...

The 2500 is heavier duty with a stonger driveline and higher payload...

If you just want a 1500 then opt for the Tahoe which is lighter, shorter and more suited for the 1500 platform.

Are you sure about your price?

AFAIK, the Tahoe is priced at 2.4-million and the Suburban at 2.9-million.

Thanks sa mga posts nyo. We're really after sa comfort and space ng SUV.  More passengers, the better.

If you're usually seating 6-8 passengers, plus luggage, your best bet is the Suburban.

If you're going to seat less than that, get the Tahoe.

the only thing bad i can say about the suburban is that because its big, its hard to find a parking spot for it and its hard to talk to the people in the 3rd row without raising your voice.....
its a very robust vehicle built on a truck platform.
reliability has been good and parts are dirt cheap and readily available, here in the US, that is. safety is also a good point. in a collision between a volvo and a suburban, where would you rather be in? in foul weather, nothing will beat its ride height and size.
towing is also an excellent reason to own one. no other SUV will out tow a 2500 series suburban.

The U.S. domestic's reliability have usually trailed behind the Japanese.  That's why their products don't really catch on in Asia, Oz and in the Middle East.

Add to that expensive parts and high labor charges for both repairs and maintenance.  At least Korean parts and labor are dirt cheap so you can forgive the Koreans for being less Toyota-like in reliability.  I don't know how you can justify it in a multi-million Peso Suburban.

In foul weather, a rear drive Suburban will handle worse than a front drive sedan.

mbt's Chevy Venture is still in the shop (21 days and counting).  My classmate's Silverado keeps on having electrical glitches (which leaves him stranded by the side of the road).  The Suburban in my a/c guy's shop has a dashboard that not only rattles, but dance too.

Sometimes it depends on the driver or the owner of the vehicle on how the handle or maintain it.

I have an officemate sold many Chevys in our dealer some of his clients are repaet orders on Chevys. It means they are satisfied on the vehicle.

I agree that sometimes the vehicle's condition is affected by the driving and maintenance of the owner.  Sometimes, however, ther are also vehicles that are problematic right out of the showroom floor.  I have owned a Suburban from 95 til now and it has always been quite reliable mechanically but it does have its share of squeeks, rattles, and interior flaws.  I'm pleased with it because I didn't set my hopes too high on its dependability but have come out pleasantly surprised.  The vehicle has over 100K miles and still runs wonderfully for its age.  This vehicle has criss-crossed the east and west coast more than once. and has not failed me. This is the positive argument however i've seen some burbans come out of the showroom and given their owners tons of headaches.  I guess its in the area of "consistent" quality that most american vehicles fall behind the japanese.
