    F-150 guy here. Rented a new 19 Suburban and drove across half the country. Did 3500 miles. By the second day it had become referred to as "The Burb". Had seven in it and packed with luggage. Still had room for another and all their stuff. Did 23.5 mpg hand calculated.
    Handing the keys back was rough.
    I'm in love.

      My wife and I rented a 19 Tahoe for a vacation. Just two of us for the road trip but 6 of us rode around in it locally. Packed with luggage and coolers it got 28MPG with the variable displacement active.
      I want one.

      similar experience here! went to California for Thanksgiving last year the vehicle we had rented was unavailable so they gave us a free upgrade to a Suburban. It drove like a dream and it held 7 no problem. I have been looking for a decent used one but they fly off the lot before I can get in.

    My late grandfather drove a 'burb. In the 1970s, everyone was driving station wagons. My grandfather proverbially noted, "In fifty years, everyone will be driving Suburbans"
    Well, he was right sort of. Clearly not everyone, but they certainly are popular. One must consider how this car, above all others, has been in production since 1935-while many other brands and models have faded away with the passage of time.

They are extremely rare (the most notable one being used in the movie Twister). But the Suburban diesels were around - albeit they were kind of junky unfortunately. The diesels were ahead of their time, and people didn't know how to maintain them; so they didn't last very long.

    I have a 2002 Suburban Z71 4x4, and it is the absolute best beater of all time. I bought her from the crusher for $175 and all she needed was a trans. $650 later and she is absolutely amazing. She’s taken more abuse than anything else I’ve ever owned, and it is the reason I’m in love with the 99-07 classic trucks. She’s rough, but she’s a beater. She has a 3” lift and some nice meaty tires and she can go absolutely anywhere you what her to and still haul 8 people. It’s incredible. Long live ruby the Burb!

    Both my dad and my grandfather own a Suburban. My dad's is a 2012 and my Grandpa has the latest version. My grandpa, I'm pretty sure, has owned maybe every version of Suburban since 1995. Living out here in Central PA since then has caused him to crash into several, poor deer, nearly totaling the truck every time. It was the perfect excuse to upgrade to the newest version every year. He inspired my dad to buy his Suburban, like father like son.

    1) Thank you so much for making an up to speed of my favorite vehicle of all time. I grew up in Janesville, WI. My dad’s friends put together the suburban I grew up in and drove through high school. We’ve owned three and now I get to drive UNLs fleet burbs.
    2) the Tahoe and Suburban were released at the same time in 2008- perhaps you meant the Tahoe/suburban took cues from the Silverado?
    3) the latest gen suburban was out for the 2015 model year- check out 2014 suburbans on the used market

    Flashback to my high school days: going with my dad and grandpa (both of whom were Chevy guys) took me to get my first ride and I pick an '03 Suburban, which only costed $7k back then. Been in the Suburban game since. Fast forward to today, my Escalade ESV V-Series has been unloaded off of the truck and I'm headed to the dealer to pick it up.

    A long ass time ago (I was in 6th or 7th grade now I’m 19), my dad got into a wreck in his Mazdaspeed 6, so we had to get a rental. The rental we got was a black 2013 or so suburban. I remember my dad saying how he didn’t like it but he had to get it because it was the only vehicle the rental agency had. And I was in orchestra back then so we had to go get my cello. Needless to say it fit effortlessly and I still felt like I could have a tennis match inside of the suburban. I’ve always loved em and I always will
