A couple of new colors are the only modifications to the Suburban as Chevrolet prepares a redesigned model for 2000.

Pros:
  • Huge interior with seating for up to 9 passengers. Fun to drive. Great V8 engine.
Cons:
  • Ride on pavement is unrefined. All the good stuff is optional.

    The one and only. Gas guzzler extrodinaire, but we have enjoyed it as a multipurpose family car. Great for long trips, and great in bad weather.

    This is my 2nd Suburban, and Im still in love. Wouldnt drive anything else.Even with 90K miles, it still drives very well and is extremely comfortable. Other than replacing one belt and routine maintenance, Ive had no problems, mechanical or otherwise. Much roomier than my Explorer, and better gas mileage.

  • Worst vehicle I have ever owned - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    My 1999 Burb XL has 49,000 miles. It is used to haul my family around and has never been used for towing. Here is what we have had replaced. Transmission replaced at 35K (warranty), CD Player, door switch (twice), door lock actuators, rear passenger door handle, AC Fan, AC Switch, passenger AC vents, intake manifold gaskets (ouch) and the rear differential (big ouch), yes thats right a new rear end. I just discovered that during the past few days the heated driver seat is not working, the door lock actuator on the rear passenger door is not working again and the driver vanity mirror cover is broken and hanging from one hinge. Run, run away.

    We bought our 99 K1500 in Denver after returning from a job assignment in Brazil. We also picked up a Z28 which we towed back to our home in Kingwood, Texas. Had to sell the Z when we moved to Canada but the Burb has been in the family for 4 years and has been the best vehicle we have ever owned. We have taken several long trips with three adults and two kids and always arrived feeling fresh.

  • Dissapointed in GM - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    I cannot begin to describe the headaches. GM quality has dropped radically over the past 7-10 years. The kicker on this truck was at 81,000 miles the intake manifold gaskets started leaking. I thought it was just a fluke but alot of people have this problem with these Vortecs. At 68,000 the transmission blew. Do you realize the sticker on this truck was over $35,000! And it dropped a tranny at a mere 68,000 miles. Pick you feet up GM.

  • Room with a veiw - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    We bought our 4x4 with less than 4 miles on the odometer. It has held up well to our country roads and to my hunting trips. We have a large family and the leather seats are easy to clean after the regular spills and drops.. The gas mileage has been good for such a large and safe feeling vehicle. Other than brakes - which seem to be short lived,we have been happy with the maintenance. I would like to see the front seat more available in the 60/40 style with the fold down armrest like the p/up has this would make for seating for 9 people if need be. The engine provides plenty of power and accelearation when neccessary,

  • Awesome Burb - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    We purchased this Burb with 30k miles on it. It looks and drives like new. Its a beautiful jet black with tan interior. One minor issue with cd player, but the dealer fixed it in 1 day. We love this vehicle. Heated seats, auto dim mirrors, leather, power everything. The mileage is ok for a big truck roughly 15 mpg. We now have 48k on it and still shows no signs of wear and tear.

  • What to sell my 1999 Suburban for. - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban

    A great vehicle with lots of space for people and golf bags. Weve taken 6 bags and suitcases and everyone was comfortable.

  • Beautiful Burb - 1999 Chevrolet Suburban
    By -

    Bought our 99 Burb brand new and now have 117,000 miles on it. About 15k miles a year with business, and approximately 5k towing a 30 travel trailer. Loaded with a family of 5 and the dog! Cant beat the Chevy 350 V-8. Ive switched to synthetic fluids throughout and dual non-restrictive exhaust and gained about 25 hp. Gas mileage hovers around 15 mpgs. Its the best vehicle weve ever owned.
