Tahoe & Suburban The power, space, and brutal towing ability make the Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, arguably the best full size SUV's on the market today.

2013 Chevrolet Suburban
Platform: GMT 400, 800, 900

Should I consider a 2007-2009 Suburban? (due to oil burning known issue)

if that sales person is so sure that is the case, have them put a clause in the sales contract to warranty the engine for oil consumption of anything over 1liter per oil change interval. He will refuse because his comment is BS.

Atta boy tech2....I like that thinking. Either way he responds will be a win win for the buyer.

any afm engine without a oil pressure relief valve shield will burn oil enventually.

get a 2500 series with a 6L engine option, it doesn't have afm.
