General Motors’ full-size SUVs took the top three places in the 2016 J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study: first place went to the GMC Yukon, second went to the Chevrolet Tahoe, and the Chevy Suburban took third. Their direct competitor — the Ford Expedition — was in fourth place.
Now in its 27th year, the 2016 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study is based on responses from 33,560 original owners of 2013 model-year vehicles after three years of ownership. Conducted from October through December 2015, the study examines problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of 2013 model-year vehicles. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study covers 177 specific problem symptoms grouped into eight major vehicle categories.
GM’s positive results in the full-size SUV segment join other strong finishes in the dependability study, including the Chevrolet Silverado HD taking first place in the Large Heavy Duty Pickup Truck segment.

NOT surprising !
Study was from 33,560 owners of the 2013 model year, which would be the prior generation full sized SUVs. Very dependable vehicles.
I’m sure the current generation will do as well, if not better.
