  Third times a charm - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By Bunnys454 - July 24 - 11:08 am

  This is my third suburban Ive owned, and i have to say that the third is definitely a charm. I love hauling my kids, their friends, my friends and all the extra crap in the back of my truck. It pulls anything i ask it to and the 454 isnt that bad with mileage. Mine has been slightly neglected over the last year, but my baby always starts and runs for me! Im proud to be seen in it and know that its a tank but who cares? Im in Minnesota and Im telling you, burbs are tanks! Two feet of snow, two wheel drive, and you still can fly past people. Ive been offered on it, but wont sell this one. Hes a keeper for sure!

  Great American made truck - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By Imateetoo - July 28 - 9:22 am

  We bought this truck used at 60,000 miles and have had very little trouble with it. I wanted something that could pull my horse trailer over mountains with no problem and it more than delivers. The 2500 model / 454hp engine is outstanding! Having the rear A/C is essential with people in the third seat in the summer. We are and will remain a Suburban family! My last Suburban (a 1979) went to almost 300,000 miles on the original engine. GMC certainly does make a GREAT truck!

  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.

  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!

  Great First Vehicle! Proud Owner - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By PrdSubrbnDrvr - June 13 - 11:55 am

  I was handed down the Suburban from my parents 2 years ago when I turned 16, my parents bought the 2006 Denali XL. I love this truck! It is so fun to drive everywhere, I love taking my friends around. The gas mileage is good, the 44 gallon tank helps a lot, but not at the pump($160 everytime, but lasts forever!) This truck has been nothing but reliable and strong for us. Only fix was the fuel pump went out at 120,000. It has been through towing the 7000lb camper everywhere. I am still debating on if I ever want to replace it. I want to run it till it dies, its at 125,000 now. I say to people I drive a tank, and it is. The Ford Excursion may be bigger, but not all metal like mine!

  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!

  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.

  Saved My Familys Life - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By haocamper - December 19 - 5:37 pm

  Our 1998 GMC Suburban was totaled in a wreck. Thank God we were in a Suburban! The vehicle rolled and ended up upside down on the expressway. The camper we were towing flipped on its side causing it and our truck to flip. I have three small children (still in carseats) and we all walked away without a scratch and my husband only had a nasty cut on his arm from the glass. The roof was barely crushed in. My husband is 66" and had plenty of head room in the Suburban - it saved his life. I will never own another vehicle but a Suburban seeing how well it held up in the crash. I only had to make minor maintenance repairs over the three years and 130,000 miles that we had it. We will soon be purchasing another one.

  Best SUV ever - 1998 GMC Suburban
  By Vetdoc - January 23 - 2:00 am

  I love my 1998 GMC Suburban. I tow a trailer and I have 4 people in my family to travel in it with. Good gas mileage for a big SUV. Very fun to drive and reliable.

  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.
