What Owners Say
"Spacious"
JOHN M., MI (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"handles great and tows great"
BILL R., AL (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"We love almost everything about it except the acceleration and jerky cruise control when trying to navigate winding roads at low speeds while in "cruise". We use the cruise because otherwise, it's difficult to keep it at low speeds. As far as acceleration is concerned, it's okay but I would prefer it if they gave the 6.2 liter engine as an option-the same engine as in the GMC Denali or the Escalade. I think that engine would be smoother and not have to upshift with great lurches when in operat"
BRUCE D., MA (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Purchased because of this 2013 Suburban being the last 3/4 ton (2500) made by GM. Replaced my 1/2 ton (1500) 2005 Suburban. Pulls my travel trailer with more ease. Provides the comfort and space as my previous Suburbans plus the extra heft in suspension I wanted. If I was concerned with MPG I would not have a Suburban."
ROY C., WY (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"for some reason this Suburban seems under powered compared to the last 2 Suburbans I have owned. Either when accelerating or trying to maintain speed."
W T., TX (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"For a big vehicle it drives very well. Yes, acceleration isn’t anything special, but it handles pretty un-truck-like."
Anonymous, UT (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Plenty of accelation for a 6000 pound truck."
John M., MI (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Plenty of power for adequate acceleration and control on the highway and urban areas."
Anonymous, TN (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Excellent"
John T., MD (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Sometimes when I turn a corner and then want accelerate, the car hesitates."
Stan M., NE (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Towing ability"
Anonymous, CA (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"Great handling- very secure even on wet roads. Acceleration is very good."
Ken O., KY (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"This is our third Suburban and we love it for all types of driving especially the trips 6-24 hours straight through."
Carol B., MN (2013 Chevrolet Suburban)"I love my suburban. I can sit up high and I can see the traffic around me. I don't get bullied. .I am not afraid because I have great vision. I drive with my mirrors. This car has power. It picks up speed so easily. I use cruise control because at y age, I don't need to move that fast and I do not want a ticket. The number of tickets I can count on one finger! I will hate to sell it. I have never had a problem with this can. I am a 70 yr old divorcee."
