  Bought Used - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By prudence - October 18 - 2:00 am

  Bought it used used with 35K+ miles. Added 100K ext warr though AAA. Have 100K+ miles now. Truck looks great and has been roomy, reliable but have only had one GMC dealer do all the work (same dealer has worked on it since sold new). Warranty has come in handy when parts wear out. Truck is quiet. Good off road but heavy. Have lubed, oil and filter every 2k to 3k miles. Use synthetics. Highway mileage 17+ Average/mixed 14.

  We love our truck! - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By oly98 - September 2 - 2:00 am

  My family and I love our 99 suburban! We travel about 3k to 4k miles a year just for vacations! We have so much fun together with this "house on wheels" that no one wants to fly anymore! I spent about $700 outfitting the truck with luggage carriers to maximize the interior room! My wife even gets into driving the suburban making our trips "much shorter"! I averaged 15.22 MPG over 3,548 miles on our last trip for X-mas! That was a truck load to the gills with kids and luggage ect.! Not bad huh! We had to have a new alternator put in it around the 57K. But thats it so far! Warranty covered it! I would recommend this truck to anyone!!

  Great Vehicle for big people and Family - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Mr. Bigg - August 3 - 2:00 am

  After the governments CAFE laws torpedoed the manufacturers big cars, we are left with the Suburban - the family sedan, SUV ,cowboymobile all roled up into one vehicle. Big cars are safer, roomier and more metal, steel, glass and car for the money. If you were raised on Caddys and real American cars - this vehicle is probably the last hurrah. We have to keep hoping that some new vehicle designers werent all weaned on imports for the proletariat. Its a great "car" - and that is a heckuva compliment.

  Good Experience - 1995 GMC Suburban
  By GMCowner - July 28 - 2:00 am

  We bought it new. I love the space when we travel. We took the truck across the county once, into Canada twice, loaded with five people and lots of luggage. Its no longer than the station wage we had before, so I dont understand why people complain about the size - its easy to handle.

  Great sooo Far! - 1997 GMC Suburban
  By larry brixey - June 28 - 2:00 am

  WE just purchased this SUV and soo far soo good! It runs great and has plenty of room for 8! My wife and daughter love the size and the reliability. WE plan on lifting it 3" and upsizing the tires to probably 36" Inches. It is a stylish, comfortable and affordable!

  99 4WD Suburban SLT - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By longjo - June 7 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my suburban for 2.5 years and I love it. I test drove the Fords and I thought there was no comparison for handling and performance. While I thought the Fords were slightly better looking at the time, the GMC gets better gas milage to boot. Plent of room for trips, kids hockey equip, etc.

  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.
