2003 Chevrolet Suburban Reviews, Pricing & Specs

We have way more likes than dislikes. We now have over 130,000 miles on this vehicle and it is 10 years old. The Chevy Suburban looks great and the paint has held up very well. The interior is very comfortable and durable. The only issue on the interior is the paint on the radio buttons has scratched off (believe from my wife's finger nails). The only odd noise that you can hear is a little whistle from the ONSTAR antenna (believe this has been fixed on newer models). Was not in the shop much. Replaced the water pump and steering pump myself around 80,000 miles. Replaced the left front wheel hub myself around 110,000 miles due to the speed sensor. Did the first tune-up around 120,000 miles. Overall a great vehicle!

Nothing short of an outstanding ride. Luxurious, powerful, lots of cargo space and towing power. Acceleration and braking were above average with this vehicle's size, demonstrated great ease of control even at higher speeds. We loved owning this car and are only parting with it due to a recent purchase of a 2012 suburban. Excellent SUV!

This vehicle was no slouch it had a 5.3 litre vortec engine under the hood which is capable of bringing this beast from a standing start to highway speed in no time at all. the brakes were very responsive and did a good job in bringing this heavy truck to a quick stop, although a little thirsty and i believe that to be the all wheel drive and its weight factor, it more than made up for in practacality.The interior was very well thought out with controls easy to use and the seats were very comfortable for long trips which i often made and sometimes just for the pleasure of driving it. Being an older vehicle it did have its fair share of repair cost but if you can keep up with the maintenance its well worth the experience.

Love the cars features and its a great value. I would compare it to the Ford excursion.

This 2003 Chevrolet Suburban LT has room to spare and power to spare. The DVD makes road trips easier on the driver. Leather seats make clean up of spills very easy. The factory sunroof is a plus. The rear air condition helps keep every one cool even all the way in the back.

I love the suburban, I replaced the battery and alternator, charged the air-conditioner and now a sound system issue, that I have not found the problem yet. I would like to see the Duramax on my next Suburban if available then, if not I will still buy the Suburban, after I get at least 250k miles on this one.

The 6.0 engine has great power for pulling trailers while the comfortable interior for the family. Got a great deal on this one with only 83,000 miles for $15,000. This vehicle was $45,000 brand new. Not bad for something that will go another 200k with few issues.

I love my suburban, but the MPG is awful (to be expected). The maintenance costs are pretty high too (to be expected in a vehicle that has more options than most homes). BUT it is great to take on trips, the factory Bose system sounds amazing, and you have enough space to comfortably take 7 people across country.

Great rig for hauling the family and my camper. Love it, one of the best rigs I've owned. Upgraded my camper to a 29' with a slide, and it does great, I would recommend for anyone for family stuff or hauling.

There is plenty of power and comfort in the LT model of Suburban of 2003. The looks have improved over the last body style (boxy 1999 and earlier). The brakes on this model have been rather soft. The latest Suburbans (2007-up) seem to be straying away from the SUV tradition and turning more into mommymobiles like minivans.
