  Work horse - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By ktlh2 - April 26 - 2:00 am

  It has been a great family travel vehicle. I would have preferred better gas mileage but you cant beat it, when loading up 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs and driving 500 plus miles, for comfort. Brakes have been the biggest negative. We do lots of urban driving and the brakes have been serviced about every 25,000 miles (4 times in 5 years). Not many problems until about 77,000 (warranty ran out at 75,000). We now have 102,000 and still going.

  my suburban - 1990 GMC Suburban
  By scottgr - February 21 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this truck for over 3 and a half years and it is a dream. What a solid truck and the preformance is like that of a new one but without all the new cramped computer engine stuff.

  Redbus - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By bluecobra122 - December 22 - 2:00 am

  Our experience with our suburban has been exellent, it has been a top performer among suvs, this is my fourth suv and my favorite, it has ran flawless with the exception of a bad coupling at the intake manifold,leaking a small amount of anti-freeze which was an easy and painless fix. its made many trips from michigan to virgina and with my wife and three children i dont think i could feel comfortable in anything else. if your considering an suv the gmc suburban should be your first choice.

  Just Fine - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By From the Flatland - December 6 - 2:00 am

  Four years and counting. This GMC has been very reliable. Its a smooth ride, easy to maneuver for its size, and about what you can expect for gas mileage. Just about to 100K with pretty much normal maintenance (which is performed religiously).

  High Cost of Ownership - 1997 GMC Suburban
  By dls - June 4 - 2:00 am

  By far the most costly vehicle I have ever owned (and I consider myself a GM guy). Although I love this vehicle for trips and towing my boat and motocross trailer it has cost me dearly over the past 12 months. Repairs to the transfer case, power steering pump, rear universals, sway bar connecting rods and upper and lower coolant intakes have cost me just under $2500 this year. With only 70K miles on the vehicle I had hoped to own it for another 70K-80K miles. I expect the poor gas mileage, wear and tear and brake pads and a new battery every three years, its a big vehicle and I bought it with my eyes open.

  Excellent Vehicle - 1994 GMC Suburban
  By burber - May 28 - 2:00 am

  Have a family of five so with the 9 passenger seating its like having a bus. My burb has over almost 200,000 miles on the 350 V8 and is still running great. I use it for pulling my 6000 lb trailer or 4 wheel driving thru the snow in the winter. Great all round vehicle. Gas gets a bit expensive but thats the price you have to pay, I spend very little on repairs so it makes up for the high gas consumption. Very comfortable ride. highly recommend getting one.

  Large Family Rescue Vehicle - 1994 GMC Suburban
  By Jay Alexander - May 27 - 2:00 am

  Other than clunky sound during back-up, (which could never be corrected),I am extremely satified with my first SUV. I had station wagons until then. It is reliable, more-less comfortable seating for all 8 passengers (a little less in third seat as can be expected). Mileage at 16 highway is not terrible, but 8 MPG city is not good. I highly recommend the Suburban.

  LOVE it or LEAVE it - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By kdb - March 28 - 2:00 am

  For years Ive lusted over the Suburban. However, I thought the new style (2000) was less TRUCK and more Sport Utility. So I bought my 1998. I really use this vehicle and drive it hard. With NUMEROUS cross counrty trips,it is truly an ideal vehicle. I am now getting into what I term as its "MID LIFE CRISES" and have had to spend some serious money to keep it in the running order I demand. If I didnt love the drive and look of this truck I would have sold it. But as it is I plan on passing 200k before that will happen.
