My family used to have several 1990's Tahoes and ones from the early 2000's. They were like tanks, with minimal maintenance. It was easy to work on by mechanics as well.
I know the new ones still have heavy-duty components like the frame, engine and transmission. But are the newer ones still as reliable and tanks like the older ones?
The Armada is a better comparison. You can have one near 20k cheaper than a Suburban/Tahoe. And it tows as much as a Suburban.
I'm not a Nissan fan but I have been looking at them lately. They don't sem to rust out as badly as Suburbans do, ours runs fine but it is a disgrace to look at.

What I would like to know is why GM decided to discontinue the K2500 for this latest version of the Suburban. We don't want or need a pickup truck and I have a ton of miles on my 2004 K2500HD. Currently looking for a 2013 K2500 with low miles as a 1500 won't cut it for what I tow.

Might of had something to do with the 2014 Silverado/Sierra Redesign and falling sales for the K2500 Suburban due to higher gas prices before they dropped off and GM making the stop gap 1/2-ton Suburban and Yukon XL 1500 but they are said to be build a new 2500 3/4 ton HD Suburban next year though.
ukrkoz never answered our question from about a year ago, but since he's still around here somewhere maybe he'll see it if we bump it. What do you drive?!
