  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.

  Garbage - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By Otto - May 28 - 3:18 pm

  This is my sixth Suburban and by far the worst. I custom ordered this rolling trash bin and it was built during a strike. Continual electrical and braking problems since day one. Delivered with a broken windshield! Air-conditioning reliably fails. Paint clearcoat is falling off vehicle in chunks. Seats were designed by future interrogators at Guantanamo. Rear-window fluid dispenser immediately plugged and hasnt worked since. Rattles and squeaks like its from 1949, frame is weak and twists easily. A dangerous vehicle for the inexperienced.

  I MISS MY GREAT WHITE 4X4 BOAT!!!. - 1994 GMC Suburban
  By Phil. (aka Dr. Phil) - March 16 - 2:24 am

  The only thing I regret about my GMC Sub.is selling it. I admit I had some minor problems, but it was just std. ware-n-tire 4 the miles it had. I bought it used with 120k. I rebuilt the trany at 155k, only $800. My last truck was an S-10 Xtra-cab. Great truck, needed more room 4 my 3 children. And boy we where happy! My wife didnt like it at 1st, later she fell n love. Especially after a trip from So.Cal 2 all over Texas. My State.We took our kids and a family member, some portable TVs, munchies, and all our luggage in the back and averaged about 17-18 mpg. And other vacations. Any-1 looking 4 a used GMC with a 350 I highly recommend. I just need a truck now. I hope I fine a good used 1.

  GM Engineers were touched by God - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By BigRon65 - February 27 - 11:51 am

  I wouldnt trade this vehicle for anything in the world. Ive raised three kids in this beast and it still runs like a top after 140,00 miles. A steering issue and a water pump are all the problems Ive had with this baby and thats it. A few weeks ago I got T-boned by three full grown deer running across a dimly lit two lane road in the middle of a cold night. They hit me in full stride. My GMC didnt budge! I checked the rear view and the deer were sprawled across the road. Got some damage to my doors and quarter panels but Ive had them fixed and my baby still runs great. Get one and keep it forever.

  350,000 Km and still humming - 1996 GMC Suburban
  By Bill Milne - February 7 - 12:30 pm

  Purchased this vehicle coming off lease at 160,000km. Used to pull 24 ft 6000lb Bayliner boat for years and family to cottage and run deliveries for a business. Only problem is 3 replacements of fuel pump. Suggest use full synthetic oil for winter driving for quieter startups. Fuel milage: incredable for SUV this size, 21 MPG on highway and 18 in city. Great family and business vehicle

  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!

  Really A Proud Suburban Driver! - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By prdsubrbndrvr - November 15 - 11:39 pm

  My Suburban is my tank! I am in college and love to drive all my friends around and everyone is sooo safe and comfy! Its a beast! The MPG is actually ok for being an older Suburban. The 44 gallon tank is the best thing ever for going a long time without filling up! I would like to thank my parents for handing this down to me! Minimal mechanical problems due to its age, but its always running strong! Took is off roading, 4x4 is the bomb on my tank! I will keep this till its end!

  1997 K1500 Suburban - 1997 GMC Suburban
  By RTS - October 2 - 6:04 pm

  Good solid truck for the most part. Two issues in the last 57,000 miles, first it lost the 2-3 clutch pack in the transmission at 121,000 but the previous owner had done a lot of towing. Second I lost a fuel pump at 154,000 miles but that was my own fault for not changing the fuel filter as often as required (filter was pluged). It took me longer to drain the tank than it did to replace the pump, which cost $110. I have a 32 travel trailer and 4 kids and overall this has been a good vehicle. Mileage is poor, but there is a limit to what you can expect from a 5300 pound box.

  The Beast - 1992 GMC Suburban

  If you need one, buy one - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By rohada - September 1 - 12:52 pm

  Overall these are solid dependable vehicles, this is our 3rd one. We had a 1978 and a 1982. If you buy one with around 90k, expect to do about $3500 in maintenance, as a handful of expensive repairs will be needed between 90k and 120k. I bought mine with about 135k and all those things had been done at the dealership.
