owned 3 of these over the past 15 years, all were very reliable, workhorses and offered longterm durability and performance.

So far... no problems at all. I hope it stays this way for more years to come.
Reliability and Durability of the Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban: Cons

2005 4dr SUV, ext. 295-horsepower 5.3L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
The transmission replacement coupled with no way of knowing if another such leak would trash a second hurts our reliability feelings. The front end is also sensitive to tie rod and ball joint damage. Not what one would expect for an "off road" vehicle.
