62k on 2003 suburban. Is it time to buy new vehicle- with more safety features?
What is your question?
Hi~
I have a 2003 Chevy Suburban Z71 and it has been a great car. Because I drive my young children around in it, I have a concern that they are riding along in the rear seat "unprotected" because there are no 2nd row airbags, or side curtain airbags. One of the children is still in a booster seat with side protection and the other is ready to move out of one. The car was manufactured before Chevy included them as standard safety equipment. Also, there is no stabilitrak/ traction control on the vehicle. Would you opt for a new vehicle that is more up-to-date on it's safety features or do you think that the Suburban's size/ weight would compensate for this in a collision? Safety ratings for driver and passenger are 4/3 stars respectively for this model/ year. Thanks for your input and help in the matter!
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 2500. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I own the same year make and model. I would not give it up for anything. We both out weigh most of the vehicles out there. They are not that top heavy, and because of the weight of the Suburban they keep traction really well. Very safe vehicle to be in.
