2001 Chevrolet Suburban XLT from North America - Comments

Squeaky door when I bought it. One bumper was loose and so I got that fixed. The big thing ran down on fuel while on the road. It's too heavy on fuel. I think it has outrageous fuel consumption. I did not realize about that until I bought it. Next time I will check on that before buying any vehicle.

The big box is big and comfortable. I feel that it is just big enough for our whole entire family. It has big rims also. The engine sure is loud in the morning. I have had too many complains about the engine in the morning by nearby neighbors. I took it for an off road trip just recently and found out the real stuff that this big box on 4 wheels really has. It can really move over anything on its path. I love this boxy truck.

3 Points that don't make a lot of sense:

1: What is a "sex taste anyway, and why would the whole family want it?

2: Engine so loud that the neighbors complain??

I've driven one, and they're pretty quiet.

3: Shocked by fuel consumption? Just take a look at the

thing...it's a rolling living room. Any truck that big

will no doubt use a lot of fuel. You don't buy a Suburban

and worry about gas mileage; you know you'll be sacrificing mpg for luxury and room.

I have a 2000 chev. suburb. LT 4x4 with the 5.3 liter.. it is very roomy, smooth ride, and also very quiet, I almost don't know it is running. If it wasn't for the tach. I would think it wasn't running. My fuel mileage is 14mpg/city and 18mpg/highway. for a vehicle of such great size, comfort, and smoothness I feel that is pretty good. It also handles great in the parking lots. Chevrolet has done great things with it's turning radius. All and all I am very happy with it.

Nice truck...I'm looking for one of those, but I personally have never heard of the XLT...

I think they mean "LT"

I once owned a dark blue 2001 Chevy Suburban LT 4x4. I purchased it new in 2001. It was an excellent vehicle. It handled very well, was very quiet, had an enormous amount of room, and it got a surprising 350 miles out of each tank of gas. Plus it looked great as well. I never had any problems with it, and when I sold it in 2005 (with 87,250 miles) it was still like a brand new vehicle.
