Yeah I like the Burb and was looking at maybe 2006 Tahoe/Yukon. I'm worried about early trucks. Fords have spark plug problems, Chevys have piston slap and dodge has tranny problems.
Don't know how "early" you mean, but I agree with others that the generalized problems are very much overstated. Our '05 Burb was mechanically perfect over 135k miles (meaning not a single mechanical issue), and I know probably more than a dozen people with the same or similar vehicle who have had perfect or nearly perfect service (the Suburban is the official vehicle of Utah suburbs, after all!). I'm sure Fords and Dodges of the same vintage would be equally likely to be trouble free.
One note on the Tahoe vs. Suburban - if you aren't going to use the 3rd row seat much at all, the Tahoe is great. But if you are planning to put humans in the 3rd row very often, going with the Suburban/Yukon XL is a no-brainer to me. Cost the same, drive the same, same fuel economy, but with a couple feet of extra space that becomes extremely usable when you have people in the 3rd row.
