  Great Truck - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By tmgj - March 9 - 4:38 am

  My Dad bought my suburban new and put 170,000 miles on it. He replaced the fuel pump and the transfer case. I bought it from him and have put another 40,000 on it. Ive replaced the starter and the transfer case(again). At 210,000 it still runs great, drives down the highway like a dream and gets 18mpg on the highway. Im not going to downgrade to a smaller truck/suv to increase the mpgs by 3! When I wax it, it almost looks new....almost. I plan to take it to 300,000, the best part, no car payment, I always remind myself of that when Im filling up the 40 gallon tank.

  Best SUV of its time. - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Matt - October 15 - 10:13 pm

  Alright, so this truck is plain great. About a year back we had the head gaskets replaced (175000 miles, currently 185000) and its ready to go for 200000 more! The only problem we have with it is the ABS brakes act up and sometimes the brake pedal pushes back, but its no big deal... just keep the foot pushing back. We used this truck for hauling horse trailers for 8 years, and still use it for vacation. There is plenty of room in the back, and the back seats fold down for even more room. I am 66 and I still have about 2" of headroom left.

  great suv - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By 99GMCsublovr - June 23 - 11:04 am

  we have had this car for 3 years now and it still runs great even for being 10 years old. It is comfortable and its one of those cars that holds its style for a long time. I love the steering on this suv, it has a great feel to it and it can steer sharp. We have the 5.7l engine which has penty of power for everyday driving comfort and for saturday fun!! I love the engine sound when you punch the gas, it still sounds great. The ride quality is great on the highway, although at 70mph it seems to shake some, but thats only because we need our tires rotated and allined.

  Great Truck - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Dennis - June 18 - 5:00 pm

  This is a great truck. For its size it handles and drives well. Good power and acceleration. I bought this truck new. It has been driven every where from the DC beltway to gravel roads (and off road) through every kind of weather from rain, sun, and blizzards. It has hauled kids, dogs, lumber, rocks etc. Always reliable and built like a tank. I have had a couple of accidents with little or no damage and the other car having major damage.

  Sweet Suburban - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By greg15jon9 - December 6 - 9:25 am

  We have had this vehicle for two years now and it has held up well. I got my permit a few years ago and I love to drive it. A few months ago I had almost got into a wreck I had to jam on the brakes and it stopped with no problem. I also drove to south Florida and a car was merging into my lane, I could not stop so I accelerated. I used the passing gear and it can get up and go, even from 70 mph!

  Safe! - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By nonya - July 11 - 2:26 pm

  Had this vehicle for two years until a couple of weeks ago. I was on a small gravel road and I rolled it. I escaped with nothing more than a few scratches. The vehicle retained its shape even after rolling multiple times. The strength and qaulity of this vehicle probably saved my life. Very save SUV. More than makes up for the mediocre gas mileage.

  Work horse - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Joe - April 11 - 1:44 am

  With some mods it is by far the best vehicle you can own. Installed rims with bigger back spacing to eliminate some of body roll and make clearence for 14 inch aftermarket rotors and callipers. I replaced exaust amd installed ram air intake, electric fan, throtle spacer and performance chip to increase fuel milage, end result being avg 23mpg mixed city hwy driving. The truck has 135000 miles on it and besides the mods the only thing changed was the fuel pump. Verry reliable and strong engine good body and after nine years still no rust.

  Couldnt Be Happier - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By HereWeGrowAgain - June 7 - 7:27 am

  We purchased our 99 Suburban used in 2003. At time of purchase it had 73,000 miles on it. Now with 146,000 it is still going strong. No major problems. Normal wear and maintenance needed. Love the room for 4 children, 2 adults, 100lb. Golden Retriever and all our stuff. Cant be beat!

  Solid like a Rock! - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Mr Monte - February 3 - 6:40 pm

  Ive put over 200K miles on my Burb and she still looks and drives like new. For 9 months I commuted weekly from Denver CO to Austin TX (950 miles) and with a 44 gallon tank I didnt have to stop for gas! Thats 25mpg hwy, city is only 13.5 mpg but I have a lead foot. I change my oil every 6K and use Castrol Syntec Synthetic Blend. Every 5th oil change I add Engine Restore and replace the serpentine belt, fuel filter and front brakes. All other fluids get changed every 90K along with spark plugs(bosch platinum),wires, cap, rotor, O2 sensors, rear brakes and fuel pump. I upgraded the fuel injectors at 205K and rebuilt the rear end. Replaced water pump, power steering EGR valve & shocks(KYB)at 120K.
