  Old and still running well. - 1997 GMC Suburban
  By R W - July 9 - 12:49 pm

  125,000 miles and still running like a champ. Hauls our 3000 lb travel trailer well, but uses a lot of gas when towing (9 mpg). When not towing I get 18 mpg on the highway. Replaced fuel pump two times in two month (also replaced steering gearbox and alternator, but after 113,000 miles, I suppose thats OK). The engine itself is solid as a rock. 125,000 miles and no leaks. It runs very smooth even on heavy acceleration. Ive heard from a lot of people, including mechanics, to watch the tranny. Had a spring break in the tranny, but was inexpensive to repair.

  Perfect for me! - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By Proud AZ owner - June 8 - 11:11 am

  My parents bought our Suburban in 1998 to tow our RV with. It performed outstandingly and when towing, the Suburban didnt hesitate a bit. We love our Suburban! It has been across the US towing the RV, it provided 100s of safe and comfy trips! We just recently bought a 2006 Yukon XL Denali to tow our RV because the Suburban is getting older now. Last year, I got my license and I knew I wanted the Suburban. I love being taller and bigger than all the other cars!

  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!

  Still going strong - 1996 GMC Suburban
  By Boze64 - May 1 - 1:56 pm

  I bought my 96 Suburban from my brother who bought it new. Except for new transmission at 140K, a new head gasket, and typical old vehicle problems, this truck has been very good. 4WD is great in the snow.

  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.

  I love my G-mc! - 1999 GMC Suburban

  Great for Many Uses - 1995 GMC Suburban
  By Team Hauler - March 26 - 11:59 am

  I bought this vehicle with 64K and have now got 163K and going strong. This vehicle had a customization package which enhanced the interior with middle buckets and entertainment features - great for the kids on long trips. Whether hitting the highway, hauling the team to games, or loading building materials for the latest project this GMC has been awesome. Leather has held up great. Has gotten 13-16 mpg highway, 9-11 city. Am now looking for a little less size and better fuel economy, but this has been a great ride for many uses.

  Best vehicle ever owned!! - 1991 GMC Suburban
  By Ron - September 11 - 1:59 pm

  I bought my 91 Suburban in fall of 90! It currently has 178000 miles on it and has performed flawlessly for 15 years. My only regret is that I did not buy two of these in 90. I plan to keep it as long as I can--perhaps even installing a new engine if necessary. The vehicle is still in showroom condition as I have kept it out of the Midwest salt for the last several winters. What an awesome purchase for 22K out the door w/ warranty. GM knew how to build them in 90!! Has anyone out there had a similar experience??

  Big, Bad Dude! - 1999 GMC Suburban
  By aezernack - July 29 - 7:20 pm

  This beast rules the road! I have owned this vehicle for 3 years. It now has 127000+ miles on it and the only repair has been a new fuel pump. I have replaced the brakes and other regular maintenance stuff. The engine runs like the day I bought it and the A/C is arctic. The interior has held up nicely despite 4 kids. The exterior is still in excellent shape. No rust anywhere. I absolutely love this truck and have already bought another 1999 for my wife.

  Strongest SUV Ever! - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By Automan - July 25 - 7:09 pm

  Lets start with my truck is the stongest truck I have ever owned. I have the 5.7 V8 4x4 and I tow my 30ft. travel trailer that weighs 7500 dry! It tows it like nothing, sometimes I forget until I look in the rear view mirror. I can tow with it going 65 up steep hills! My Suburban is maroon with tan leather interior. Seats 8 with room for more. We take our friends and their family members everywhere in it. It looks and drives like when I bought it new.
