I’ve owned and loved 3 Suburbans over the years. When the current one with 225K+ miles gives up, I’ll be signing up for another one. The ride, the quietness, and the flexibility it offers has always delivered.
@ hello! I’ve had the smaller v8 in all of them and each was extremely reliable and no major maintenance. Each Suburban just overall got tired and I was fortunate to be able replace them and each served their next owners well. All were a version of the LT trim, bench 2nd row, and none had sunroofs. I live in the North East US so winters are hard on them and I was a volunteer firefighter/emt so although they were in my garage, they were also out in the bad weather constantly. I have no hesitations on the engines, I’ve seen some people have transmission concerns, but none of mine did. Good luck!
I really really love the brand new 2025 Chevrolet Suburban and to me I feel like this is the disciple of SUVs I don't care what people say about it but I love it because this is a peach of an suv.
Really nice SUV. I've said it before, but GM is killing it with the 24/25 model year designs inside and out. Also, anytime I see a hidden rear wiper on the road I think of the Raiti Effect pushing that forward
5.3L(1997) and 6.2L(2008) V8 are Old School.. I do believe GM can build a smaller displacement, more powerful V8 engine to match all that "new Tech" The I-6 Turbo Duramax is pointing the way already. How about it GM..??
Beautiful paint and Suburbans just flat rock for taking a big family on long trips, get a couple sofa pillows for the third row arm rests and you are set. Thanks Joe and Lori !
I have rented Suburbans for a couple of long summer trips and was very impressed. Great vision, adequate power from the 5.3, and nice ride. Gas mileage not too bad either. Will be looking at the Tahoe or Yukon when they hit the market for 2025
What an awesome ride ! I have always loved the suburban, my brother has owned a few and have been nothing short of awesome. Great review Joe and some phenomenal camera work Lori 👏 👌 Wonderful work as usual by you both!!
Love the infotainment system on this vs. the new 25 Expedition. I think it's better to have the screen closer to the driver and the lines on this dash feel better than the weird curves in the expedition. It looks more premium.
The Chevrolet Suburban offers powerful V8 engines and seats up to nine, while the Ford Expedition features a fuel-efficient EcoBoost V6 and seats up to eight. Both have modern tech and spacious interiors.
One of the funniest things I ever heard a parent say to a kid: KID: "Mom, I'm hungry!" MOM: "You ate yesterday..." ME (to myself): "That sounds reasonable... Oh, wait." I looked at Mom and busted out laughing.
when it comes to Vehicle reviews I always go to Raiti's Rides, since I have found your channel and subscribed, I have not found any other channel that does what you do. keep up the great work & see you in the next video. Thanks
The color looks like one of those crayons that stays fresh because you never use it. Like the color of doctor scrubs. I think overall it's a handsome SUV with great engine options. Thanks Joe and the rest of the Raiti's Rides crew.
I absolutely love this as a suburban driver. I have a 9th generation and a 10th going for the 11th soon while I wait for the 12th gen to drop in price ! New expedition looks Amazing but I can’t see myself turning away from GM after ford expedition limited stalled mid intersection and almost killed my pregnant and wife as on coming traffic traveled at a high rate of speed towards us because the ford stalled and then at the last second flew forward… quickly sold it after that and never bought ford or Lincoln again
My in laws have an Expedition and they’ve had that same problem. I have a 15 Yukon Xl that I’m going to be replacing soon and honestly I like the Expedition redesign even more than these but I can’t trust Ford under any circumstances
I LOVE IT. A legend with a great ride. It looks really nice and serious. Out of all I've seen so far, it's either the Escalade or the Suburban, or both. I love what they did with the instrument cluster, the dashboard and the entire interior in general. I'd seriously consider it as shown.
Took an Uber ride once from the airport in a Suburban and man what a nice car. Wish the ride would’ve been longer which says a lot! Super comfortable. Roomy. Impressive quality. Just overall sweet ride. They’re very popular on the road for a reason.
Us snackers like to get real world dimensions on these oddly shaped storage areas. During this very video I was thinking, " I wonder how many Ho-Ho's would fit on the hidden pull out tray in the motorized console."
@@cbotten106 That poor vehicle the amount of forgotten snacks. My son left a half gal of chocolate milk in my truck once. The smell is like no other. But I see the storage more as the place to stick electronics that's just me. Carry on sir Twinky
The suburban is the longest running continuous model of any car. We had a surburban, it was according to a dealer acquaintance the car with the lowest passenger death per mile due to its massive size. Love the 60 series sidewall. This vehicle is designed to endure potholes. I think the Ford split tailgate is a better design. Hard to understand why they haven't put a hybrid in this vehicle; it would help so much with city MPG. GM is being awfully lazy.
White interior is crazy, I hope that’s optional and not your only choice, tires are nice but should be bigger on a premier trim, glad it has fog lamps. New expedition should be taking notes
I had seen in your review of the suburban vs grand wagoneer the mention of the family camera that allows you to look in the vehicle from other locations. Is this still an option in the 2025 suburban?
The new Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition is a interior design language I never seen. And Full out new daring approach to Car and Suv design. Ford takes risk. And the interior of the Expedition is likeeee wth is that a Expedition??? The Chevy is like ohhh makes sense it looks gorgeous its a GMC brand. 2 different feel and looks to me.
For the conventional status quo GMC lover this design is amazing. And yes I praised GMC for the last 3 years as finally stepping up their design game and worth.....buuuuttttttt...We're looking at the same GMC design language. Which is the best out!!! ....but also still reserved when it comes to Ford.
To be fair, the GM suvs have had these lines much longer than Ford. If one was inspired by the other the big GM suvs were the template, not the other way around.
Well... yes, without question the Suburban is better than the current Ford Expedition. This generation of Expedition is pretty lackluster. The new design released a few days ago looks promising, but I'd still take the GM.
I prefer my corner vents to be clean and functional. I believe that the majority of automotive enthusiasts feel that way. It's like an Escalade without ALL the bling, I get it! This thing craps all over the Expedition but you already knew that or you wouldn't have asked. Real trucks don't need no stinking EcoBoost!
This Suburban is very similar to the current style. But that is a new dash. I liked the knobs for the climate and presume the radio still runs from the wheel. BTW, there is no match for the Suburban outside of GM and Cadillac.
Thanks for another informative video. This is muy caliente suv. I don't like the white color inside the interior. I wish they would offer a turbo 6.2 v-8 gas engine. Yeah baby more horsepower!😝😆🤪
Nice suv. To bad no ventilated second row and no ambient lights plus probably bad fuel economy. Nice looking suv but those are a must have and it’s a deal breaker. Maybe 2027, let’s hope and wait

Hi which engine do you have on your 3 suburban's? I prefer the V8 over diesel but idk how the reliability is.

MSRP:
From $61,500 for LS, from 64,700 for LT, from 69,500 for RST, from 71,500 for Z71, from 76,600 for Premier, from $81,200 for High Country.
Not bad 👍
And there won't be 20k debt unlike the similarly priced Tesla model Y
Can’t find for those prices.
$5-6 k more 😢

Moms in the Midwest suburbs are about to crazy for these, gotta show up Carol with her aging 2022 Cadillac Escalade at the local softball tournament.
These are all over long island, NY. People tow boats with these.
What an idiotic comment. 🙄 They pull everything with them in Montana.
@@TuxieTude it’s idiotic to state what I saw living in New York? You sound like a person who is angry for no reason.
@@TuxieTude
Nobody said they didn't. He simply made a point. he didn't say u can only tow boats, so nothing idiotic about HIS comment!
I can hear Carol's wails of despair in my mind already.

I bought brand new a 2021 suburban and it is by far my most favorite vehicle I have ever owned. I plan to trade up to a 2025 or 2026.

I agree, Joe didn't like the paint.

Saw the thumbnail and thought it was an LT. Why are the rims so base model looking 😭. So glad you can option on other ones
So did I, same thought on the wheels too
I've been waiting for this for so long... Thanks joe and the raiti's ride team😊
Loving the 2025 updates on the Chevrolet Tahoe especially the interior and taillights.
Suburban?
I don't need such a huge boat like this, i can't afford, but i want it.
It's almost a home away from home. A mobile vacation hotspot.
I think its missing the privacy shades on the second row
What an awesome ride ! I have always loved the suburban, my brother has owned a few and have been nothing short of awesome.
Great review Joe and some phenomenal camera work Lori 👏 👌
Wonderful work as usual by you both!!
I love this color combo except i’d get it in the ‘25 Tahoe might have to trade my beloved 2017 silverado for one of these always wanted one

Fugly color. The initial milky green they had was amazing, then decided to swap for this turd of a color.
@@xtremecoast is this cypress gray?
@@antoniocognato5023 I think so. I was surprised they changed the color from the one they used at the launch on the Z71.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful insight from your experience!
Seats look way comfier than seats inside Lincol Navigator. Am I correct or am I right?
i love all the reviews that you make it look like you did that all your life
The new Suburban is really nice! Thank you for showing it to us.
Corporate wants you to tell the difference between these two vehicles...
It's the same vehicle.
No. Theyre not... same platform. But not the same automobile
Platform sharing is almost as old as the automotive industry. Badge engineering is just the most egregious version of it.
will ambient lighting be available in these?
Hey man thanks for your videos. But, what is your deal talking about stuffing food into places and holes?
Agreed 😅

Is it better than the Ford? Of course it's better.
6.2 liter for 1
Yes of course and can't wait to test drive this.

what trim levels does the digital rear view mirror come with?
Google says it has ambient lighting. Is that true?
That would be awesome if it’s true
Walk up and walk away lighting on High Country and Premier. I don't know if that means an interior light show or not.
Chevrolet is on to the NEXT LEVEL!
The Suburban is a go to, very practical, different engine options and looks pretty good.
A go to for the wealthy? They don't even need practical things.
White interior is crazy, I hope that’s optional and not your only choice, tires are nice but should be bigger on a premier trim, glad it has fog lamps. New expedition should be taking notes
This is real nice why GM don't bring back the barn doors on the suburban with a retro look
it has the 2022/2023 Cadillac escalade dashboard. Pretty nice!
You will get depressed when you pay the price for todays Chevrolet
What color is that 😍😍😍😍😭😍😭

Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.
Does it have air ride ? Why is nobody talking about suspension in these reviews?
On the center console, Ford has it better even the placement of the buttons to operate it
Nice. But they should've designed some new rims. They look like the old high country or ltz wheels.
For the conventional status quo GMC lover this design is amazing. And yes I praised GMC for the last 3 years as finally stepping up their design game and worth.....buuuuttttttt...We're looking at the same GMC design language.

What did you think of it?
@@RaitisRides Loved it, but I am partial as a Tahoe owner. Definitely liking the new screen layout
Wow, same lines as Ford Expedition 🤣. Quad exhaust ! 👍👍
To be fair, the GM suvs have had these lines much longer than Ford. If one was inspired by the other the big GM suvs were the template, not the other way around.

killin it J & LR! I love the color cuz I’m old⚡️🇺🇸
I really wish they would make a diesel hybrid to exceed 30 mpg.
The 6.2 is legend. The ecoboost v6? Not so much.
Have 22 and love everything about this car except for infotainment display is a let down. Other than that this car is made for family!!!
Need a 30 year mortgage on it
If it still has the hands free foot trunk activation. Yes.
I prefer my corner vents to be clean and functional. I believe that the majority of automotive enthusiasts feel that way. It's like an Escalade without ALL the bling, I get it! This thing craps all over the Expedition but you already knew that or you wouldn't have asked. Real trucks don't need no stinking EcoBoost!
They vacuumed that carpet just for you!
I think I like the 2025 expedition max more
This Suburban is very similar to the current style. But that is a new dash. I liked the knobs for the climate and presume the radio still runs from the wheel. BTW, there is no match for the Suburban outside of GM and Cadillac.
And they know it hence the pricing.

Will they skip the 13th generation and jump from this refresh of the 12th generation right to the 14th? Or will they call it a baker's dozen gen? ;)
I knew it you guys were at the state fair
No headrest in the middle seat so technically it’s a six seater
If it's got a belt you could put a child seat in that place.
THE BEST. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
would be nice to see some hybrid diesel engine
Yeah not sure if that is happening anytime soon.
Love it, but it cost money to own it👍🏽
I don't care about the car I just want to hear "tO ThE DoOr PaNeLs"

I will see you 2025 Chevrolet Suburban owners in a 2025 GMC Yukon AT4.
When that air suspension goes, you ain’t gonna be seeing anybody but in your other car.
Nope. The Expedition is the world’s best full size SUV. Chevrolet is outdated.
You just reviewed the Ford Expedition. You could have answered your own tag line by doing a comparison review.
