#142 of 162 Suburban's working fine for me by cruisinalong Jan 04, 2005 (4:32 pm)
We own a Toyota Highlander and a Sanoma pickup... both great cars. I purchased my (first) Z71 Suburban '04 to accommodate a growing family and never really considered the Seq because of it's smaller size. The Suburban, for 6000 miles so far, has been a great car (sorry, I don't call these things trucks since they ARE cars to me)... no problems and quite a nice drive... rear wheel drive is a first for me in a long time. There are many small things which annoy me about the Chevy... most of which have been cited in these forums--but I still enjoy driving the beast without any problems. I'm sure the Toyota is a fine vehicle and I will probably get one to replace our Highlander. In my final analysis, I must remember that, after all, it's JUST a car! Have fun in either!

Replying to: pschreck (Aug 30, 2002 11:05 am) I have a 1995 1500 Suburban. The transmission broke down at around 114k. I had the transmission rebuilt. It took another 30k until it broke down again.   I love the room and power that the suburban have. But are the newer model suburbans have the capability of surpassing the 100k mark without any mayor problem?   Would it be better to get a 2500 model in order to get the same performance and maybe longer life span?   You input would greatly be appreciated.
#144 of 162 A little confused by mm1923 Feb 13, 2005 (12:39 pm)
I am buying a truck for my wife. She likes the Suburban and recently the Sequoia has popped up on our radar. I have looked at the reviews on MSN Auto and the reviews from the professionals were better on the Suburban than the Sequoia. For me the reviews don't matter as much I come from a Toyota family. I KNOW the reliability is their claim to fame. However the Suburban is a vehicle that we love. But the warranty on a used Sequoia can get me up to 100,000 miles. The Suburban does not. I know at some point I will have to be in the shop. My wifes Corolla was bought with 43,000 miles and now is at 120,000 and we have not had any major problems. My Nissan has had few problems also. Should I get the Sequoia or the Suburban. I need objective feedback pleas. Replies to this message: jsnoopy (Feb 22, 2006 12:51 pm) ggesq (Jun 23, 2006 4:50 pm)
#145 of 162 Objective feedback ? by oac Feb 13, 2005 (9:14 pm)
On a forum such as Edmunds ? The best objective feedback I have seen around here is this:   Buy what you LIKE !   If its the 'Burb, go for it. If the Seq appeals to you bcos of its Toyota heritage, then go for it as well. You do not want to buy one and look longingly at the other choice every time you drive past one.   Maybe more importantly, what does the WIFE want ?   Good luck !

I faced the same decision back in 2001 -   Could not decide between Tahoe - Suburban - Sequoia. At first it seemed like the Suburban was a little too big - the Tahoe was a little too small and the Sequoia was just right.   We test drove each a few times and cut the choice down to Tahoe VS Sequoia. The pricing difference pushed me to the Tahoe.   I can't recall the exact difference - but it was well over $5K - the Sequoia was new and I could not get any dealer to give me any significant discount.   If you really like both - I would work with both dealerships - see what the best deal you can get on each truck - then ask yourself - is this truck worth $XXX more?   If the price would have been the same (or close)I would most likely be driving a Sequoia - but no way did I see a $5K difference - new model or not.
#147 of 162 Go Used by dieselone Mar 10, 2005 (7:39 am)
That is where the value of the Sub/Tahoe kicks in. I have recently been looking at used burbs & Seq's, and the Sequ's go for a ton more $$ used. I couldn't justify the difference. I ended up finding a 2000 burb LS 4x4 w/46K for 17k. It's older than I wanted, but it is very clean and I couldn't justify paying atleast $7k more for an 03 with the same amount of miles. The used Seq's are hard to find with low miles, and when I did find one the prices were to high for me to justify.
#148 of 162 Why Buy A Burb by deaconlew Apr 18, 2005 (3:26 am)
I bought a 99 K1500 (4x4) Suburban in December of 2003. I am the second owner. At the time of purchase it had 208K miles. I changed all the fluids, immediately, replaced the tires and had the fuel system cleansed. I have put 51K more miles on it and had to replace the tranny. Purchased from and installed by a GM dealership. There are over 260K miles on it today. Runs like a top. Early January last year went to southern California (I live in Texas) and pull a 26' trailor loaded (helped a friend move) back to Texas. Other than the tranny (which is to be expected) I have not had major problems. All the issues that I have had I can associate with the milage of the vehicle. To date the items that have been replaced since I have owned it are: Power Steering Pump Fuel Pump Intake Gasket Transmission Exhaust (this was not necessary, but the glass packs sure do sound good)   My two pence. The Suburban is my kind of vehicle, would not own a Toyota at all (unless it was given to me).   -DeaconLew   99 K1500 Suburban Red (Like the blood of Jesus) 350, K&N, Dual Exhaust w/ Glass Packs Husband and father of five
#149 of 162 Suburban BY FAR! by chevyman Jul 25, 2005 (1:25 pm)
Not only having GM qualitly and reliablility, the Suburban has so much more room and power than the Sequoia. I love my 1998 GMC 4x4 Suburban. My suburban has 98,000 miles and I have never had to replace anything, EVER! Obviously everything but oil and tires. I also tow my 30ft. travel trailer that weight 6500 lbs. dry with ease! No struggles, I would love to see a Sequoia do that! But it couldn't . The Suburban is the perfect large SUV.
#150 of 162 Tahoe vs Sequoia by edwin10 Oct 25, 2005 (6:54 pm)
Interesting reading this Sequoia vs Tahoe forum. Suburban is much bigger and should be left out. Gas much higher now, and both Seq and Tahoe are now heavily discounted.   I purchaed a 2002 sub, and my friend purchased a 2002 seq limited. I have had to pick my friend up at the Toyota dealer 4 times so far, and he has never had to get me. My sub has not broken yet.   The seq has been recalled twice now, and just this year Toyota has had to recall 2.6 million vehicles, just recently the hybrid car.   So in my opinion both are very close in equality, get the best deal, and buy the best deal, because as soon as you drive it off the dealer lot, you just lost at least 10 grand $$$.
