Used 1999 GMC Suburban Consumer Reviews
great suv
we have had this car for 3 years now and it still runs great even for being 10 years old. It is comfortable and its one of those cars that holds its style for a long time. I love the steering on this suv, it has a great feel to it and it can steer sharp. We have the 5.7l engine which has penty of power for everyday driving comfort and for saturday fun!! I love the engine sound when you punch the gas, it still sounds great. The ride quality is great on the highway, although at 70mph it seems to shake some, but thats only because we need our tires rotated and allined.
Safe!
Had this vehicle for two years until a couple of weeks ago. I was on a small gravel road and I rolled it. I escaped with nothing more than a few scratches. The vehicle retained its shape even after rolling multiple times. The strength and qaulity of this vehicle probably saved my life. Very save SUV. More than makes up for the mediocre gas mileage.

We love our truck!
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 that's it so far! Warranty covered it! I would recommend this truck to anyone!!
Sweet Suburban
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!
The Tanker
We purchased our 99 Burb via internet from a TX dealer in 2003. We have added 40,000 miles. A wonderful comfortable, safe, general purpose vehicle. We can move stuff or carry 7 people with golf equimpement in comfort. Gas milage for 5.7L is 15c/18.5hwy. With a 44gallon tank we can make nearly 800 miles if needed which is important in FL for evacuations. Due to GM 'under engineering' the rear drum brakes were very poor, (this was the last year GM used drums on the burb) so we upgraded to Stillen rear disks.
