2023 Chevrolet Suburban / The Hidden Truth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- Full size, truck-based SUVs are excessive by nature, the Suburban is not an exception. However, it has impressive attributes beyond its garage-scaring size. It competes against the Nissan Armada, Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer (L) and Toyota Sequoia.

You passed the 40K mark! 100K is within sight. Your channel deserves to grow.
Thank you for noticing, planning a big overhaul here soon to help boost me there!
The rear hatch DOES close with the foot swipe, you just have to set it in the infotainment display. Just FYI
Nice job. Informative and entertaining to boot.
Great review Tyler. You mixed in a lot of wit & humor in this one!
👍👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate that, happy you enjoyed it!
Good review just had a 5.3 suburban for a 3500 mile roadtrip really liked it power is good room is great comfort with th lt trim i think, even the shifter after a couple days getting used to the only really annoying thing was too put your seatbelt on just to get it into drive and reverse just to move it a few feet
I prefer to drive smaller more nimble cars and there is no reason for me to need one of these…but deep down I want one so bad and know that if I won the lottery I’d have one. I’d admire it in the evenings next to my GTI after spending all day washing and waxing them.
Great outro too. You really hit the nail on how easy it is to judge what others drive when many times our own cars aren’t all that practical.
a good American, big and affordable Family SUV. Thanks for the review 😀
I suppose it is affordable considering the insanity of full-size trucks right now🫠
I like your reviews! I don’t know if you would be interested in more cars to review. I work for a local Dealership and can probably hook you up with some interesting stuff. It’s nice to see a local Hoosier on here, instead of your average “west coast” perspective! Keep it up! Thanks!
Good review! I have a 2023 Suburban, the 7th one I've had since 1999, also had a Blazer back in 1978 - 1982. Since 2009, they have gotten more and more electronically complex, to the point you need a kid to program it. The biggest deal to me is the gas mileage. From what I can tell, highway, isn't as good as previous models, since 2009 all of mine have been Z71's, which is odd because historically it's been getting a little better each model, until now. You mentioned cylinder deactivation. I was told the 2023's didn't have that feature. The older ones all let you know what mode you were in but not this one. Frankly, I always thought it was a "feel good" feature that really didn't help. I mean, you'd go into 4 cylinder mode coasting down an exit ramp for 25 yards but when you stop, you're idling with all 8 banging away, what kind of since does that make? Which brings me to my last point. As silly as the cylinder deactivation is/was, the worst is the auto stop feature where the engine actually turns off at a stop light. I guess GM saw a lot of money money in new batteries and starters sales. Thanks again for your post!
Nice review
I love those extra long cruisers. I found Ford Expedition Max more to my liking. It has more comfortable front seats and has surprisingly accurate and responsive steering compared to the Suburban. Its 3.5 TT engine is also curiously economical. Alas, they are both crazy expensive compared to something like Honda Odyssey, and to top it all, my 7' high 240" long garage accommodates neither one (Chevy or Ford) very well.
Great video
I think 2007-2014 were the best years of the Tahoe/Suburban (obviously they're related). Modern enough styling (not overstyled, not old looking), very reliable (none of that Active Fuel Management stuff that breaks all the time), and you can find a lot of them that haven't been beaten to death or rusted out completely. Also, it has everything you might need and nothing you don't. For the 2021+ GM full size SUVs, the Escalade is the best looking, but unfortunately it costs about $100k before dealer markups. FYI: that 10 speed automatic transmission is the same one Ford uses in all their body on frame trucks (and the Mustang). It was developed jointly by Ford and GM.
First vehicle I learned to drive was my families 08 burban
i have a corolla cross with 2.0 engine. i use extreme driving style to get 5.0L/100km, which is 47MPG. i never go over 100km/h, seldom let the engine go over 2500rpm when accelerating and hyper mill when ever possible. so l smile when i see the gas pump, and its a different kind of fun to squeeze for MPG.
I am getting 42 in my santa fe hybrid hypermiling and taking it easy. Hybrid cars can't be driven hard. The difference in mileage is day and night when you baby them.
I assume your CC is gas only?
@@rohitnijhawan5281 yes, gas only.
Highly suggest the 3 liter duramax. In the Silverado I average 26. On road trips it’s 28-33 depending.
How is it for maintenance? Do you need a diesel specialist?
@@TheHungryPigeon got the 100k warranty plus the oil change package. Maintenance has been done by the dealer. It’s been a little pricey, but all trucks are.
Crazy the Z71 doesn’t have adaptive cruise control. Gonna wait till the 2025s come out. More models will be able to have super cruise as well which means adaptive cruise control. Also a the infotainment screen is hard to see. They have angled it towards the driver in the new model just like the silverados.
Bro, you look EXACTLY like the halo pro, lucid. Sorry I couldn’t get that out of my head.
Too bad they postponed the refresh this year. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED!😢
I thought you looked more like Kurt Cobain instead of a soccer mom
I can’t tell but the biggest problem I have is that it seems like my kids sitting in the far back row won’t be able to see out of the window?
They still made the best trucks and suvs on the market
What does Consumer Reports and Edmonds say about the Reliability of Chevy / GMC?
Good review !
Subpar history according to them, the last few years haven't been horrible but we will see how well that holds up over the years. I didn't do a deep dive into its competitors for this one but the last time I checked, only the sequoia has had stellar history (the Armada also isn't too shabby either).
Only thing I don't like about it is the no fogs, only the Yukon has them unfortunately
Weird omission on Chevy’s part
@Realistick I remember when they released, I was there aren't any fogs for this or the escalade only the yukon!!!
great surburban, Be careful if you need a repair just my AC part,, I have No AC and they told me they have no idea when it could come in stock, maybe not till 2024. and they wont let me take it home. Yes this is 2023 and less than 500 miles
😂 The wig. Good prop.
Great to hear that the $20 wasn't wasted!
The unfortunate truth is the new silverados/suburbans/tahoes usually come standard with the 6.2L v8 and an 8 or 10 speed trans which will all experience lifter issues before 100k and the trans will be shot right at 100k like clockwork. Source(I sell these parts to customers).
I need a large suv for work. Drove the ‘03 suburban for 16 years. Have a 2015 expedition and ready to find something else. The sequoia just doesn’t have the room I need. What do suggest I should buy? I hear so many horror stories on the ford and Chevy suvs.
@@amylo2637omg please let me know what yay go with. I drive a caravan and eventually wanted to change to a suv just was scared of Chevy and ford because of the stories lol. It’s crazy I want one of these suburban and I’m single with no kids I just like the space I guess idk🤦♂️
Понял 30%, но всё равно спасибо!
GM asked the government for a $60Billion dollar bailout to avoid bankruptcy
Paid it off too
Ford also had a bailout but it wasn’t as heavily publicized
@@whoawoahh Yes and the Government got tired of bailing out Chrysler / Jeep, so they filled bankruptcy. Fiat bought Chrysler / Jeep which is owned by Stellantis.
Stellantis has decided to drop the Hemi engine.
This is why Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep build such a POS vehicle today
Curious what your point is ? As they paid it off
@@ivankorth4458 I just don’t know how anyone can over spend that much money that they have to ask the government for a bailout.
Chrysler did it so many times that the government stopped bailing them out, so they sold to Fiat which is owned by Stillantis
No blind spot monitoring, no 360 camera for such colossal SUV is a danger for others.
You can get it equipped on there as a option
Parking sensors are standard but I definitely think that stuff should be standard with this type of vehicle. It's so hard to see what's directly in front of you and with a family suv, that's not ideal.
scoot the burbs
I test drove one of these things, definately am NOT impressed! I drove the Highcountry and I asked the sales rep if it was a V6… he asked me if I felt the power, honestly thats why i asked him if it was a v6 because it felt EXTREMELY UNDERPOWERED… definately feels like super cheap materials, compared to my 2022 Armada Platinum, definately WAYYYYYY less features than my Armada… the rear seat sucks, my Armada reclines this one, youre sitting up straight and WONT recline one bit
Lol
All the GM vehicles I bought in the past several decades were nice when new but were really just junk. They all had to have at least some new car warranty work and the dealer experience ranged from, at least for me, at best pretty bad to outright incompetence. Don't let a GM product's pretty face fool you. It is just lipstick on a pig. All GM vehicles are constructed with low quality materials and components and are likely horrid money pits to own if you keep them longer than 4 years. I learned the hard way for the last time and will not make the mistake again of buying another GM vehicle. I lost all trust with GM, Hyundai, Ford, and only buy Toyota's or Honda's. and have never looked back. I now stay away from the plethora of low quality American or import vehicles on the market. Just saying.
Yeah I was pretty surprised during research for my reliability portion in this one to find as many issues with recent models as I did. Although, if you have to have it, there are (some) preventative things you can do to keep them strong for awhile.
Just a big terd. Chevy makes the best terds.
Damn, the car review community is pretty unfair when you make these great videos but no views :/
Im glad you enjoy them! It’s more so the UA-cam algorithm. If my regular viewers don’t choose to watch a video (I typically don’t review trucks or high end stuff) then UA-cam is very slow to recommend it out to a wider audience. The goal is to have a broad enough subscriber base to where I don’t rely as much on recommendations!
