Overview & Reviews

New colors, a standard theft-deterrent system, optional heated seats, second-generation airbags and an automatic 4WD system improve the 1998 Suburban.

• Huge interior with seating for up to 9 passengers. Fun to drive. Great V-8 engine.

• Ride on pavement is unrefined. All the good stuff is optional.

  Our baby saved our lives! - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Mary Walker - December 23 - 3:59 pm

  This vehicle is comfortable to drive and ride in. Location of accessories and controls makes sense and are easily accessible. We were in a nasty collision in a freak ice storm a few days ago. This vehicle cushioned all of us and kept us safe. I am currently looking for another Suburban as I have owned many cars and trucks over the years and am extremely impressed with this vehicle. Kudos to the designers.

  Best SUV Ever Owned - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Best Ever Owned - October 3 - 2:00 am

  Purchased with 42k miles and now at 178k miles and still going. I perform maintenance at local mechanic when needed and never replaced the transmission in 178k miles. Brakes should be larger as others have suggested. Great SUV for families and very safe for highway and local traveling. Awesome camping vehicle for tent camping and now towing large Pop up camper. Recommend to anyone looking for late model large SUV.

  Over 200K and still going strong - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Mark - May 21 - 11:39 am

  I sold my previous Suburban (1994 and 300K miles) to purchase this one. It came with about 100K on it and was lacking in the routine maintenance department, after fixing and servicing the vehicle it has served us very well. Always starts even at -40 F, its easy to get in and out of (a must for my line of work). Pulls/hauls my 31 camper, the boat, or the car trailer with ease. I now have a little over 215K and still use it regularly with minimal maintenance issues. I would highly recommend this to others. As with any vehicle preventative maintenance and a competent mechanic can make all the difference. In my five years of ownership I have replaced 1 radiator, 2 door handles, and 1 brake line

  The Best SUV EVER!!!! - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By The Guy - August 26 - 3:21 am

  Ever since I can remember my family has bought nothing but fords until me! I bought this Sub when I turned 16 and have never had a problem. My wife now owns a 2004 Sub my brother and my mom both have 1994 subs and my father has a 2002 Tahoe (but wants more room). These truly are the best SUVs ever!

  Urban Tank - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By OffRoading - June 27 - 8:11 pm

  Ive loved this truck since I bought it. Ive been hit 4 times in it, only one required major work and it still runs great and no one was injured. I still get 18 mpg in the city. The transmission tends to go out at 110,000 miles, I know of 4 people that it happened to. Water pump and heater control valve both started to leak around 140,000 miles. Currently have 150,000. The brakes I put on last about 20,000 miles, but the rotor only lasts about 2 or 3 break changes.

  Most reliable vehicle on the planet. - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Impressed - December 17 - 7:32 pm

  This vehicle currently has 274,000 miles on it and has been the best vehicle I have ever driven. I have taken it all over the US and parts of Canada. I tow over 5000lbs on a weekly basis. The only things I have had to replace more often than would be common is the brakes. The brakes on this vehicle should have been upsized considerably. The front pads last about 10,000 miles if you are gentle. The water pump was replaced at 120k and again at 240k. No biggie. My Honda has to have it replaced every 60k.

  Favorite Vehicle in 30 years - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban
  By PEDE - August 8 - 2:00 am

  Purchased in order to carry 1 child, 3 Grandchildren and my faithful Dog. I couldnt be happier with any other vehicle. Iv been buying & driving for 30 years and have had some pretty raw deals. This one has been AWSOME. I would HIGHLY recommend a Suburban for a family or a person needing hauling/towing capacity.
