I've modded mine adding locking differentials and aftermarket wheels and it still runs like new. I would recommend this to a friend.

I've hauled horse trailers all over the state. Drove for work over 3 states. I now have over 295000 miles answer still going. Did have to get the transmission rebuild at about 200000. The seats in this truck are the most comfortable I have ever had in a vehicle. I hope my next Suburban has seats this comfortable.

Review

i own the suburban and the extra cab long bed version of this truck and couldn't be happier.
only quirk is change the fuel pump every 70k and radiator at 200k otherwise flawless and economical.
I baby my trucks as a rule and get 25 m,pg out of my truck and 23-24 out of the suburban. there are plabty of smaller truck I could load in the back of mine and drive around and i would get better mileage moving them that way than just driving them.
oh truck has 300k and suburban has 200 both are still strong and could drive across country with out worry

Best Features

reliability and comfort. 4x4 is awesome in the heavy sierras snow as well

Worst Features

plan on changing the fuel pump every 70k and do your oil changes.

Review

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

Best Features

4wd in winter heavy snow and pulling boat out of the water. Comfortable leather seats and good paint finish

Worst Features

It has a very wide turning radius, can be awkward in tight parking conditions

Review

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.

Best Features

Lots of room
