It's odd that Suburbans have lock actuator failure, because I've had 5 other Chevy trucks with the same exact actuator and have never had one fail.
I guess it's because Suburban's have 5 of them, and other trucks just have 2 (law of averages).
Love the way it rides, and I always feel like unless I have a fight with a giant Peterbuilt or a freight train....I will win. And the Delco/Bose sound system, for a stock unit is pretty amazing.
Fuel mileage isn't as bad as you'd think, about 16 city/18 hwy. whether loaded/towing or not. Same as my other 2 Chevy 1/2 tons.
If I didn't need another open bed pickup I would happily keep it, and I very well may if someone doesn't buy it. I know darn well that if I was looking for something in the 4k price range I'd never find anything better. Since I don't pile the miles on like others do my limit on vehicle purchases is always under 10k.
