IN A WORD... AWESOME

by zr_1
Sep 12 '05 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Sips gas...safe, good in snow, mud, big pulling power.
Cons: Outside, sounds like a Kenworth semi, + diesel fumes
The Bottom Line: Thanks to US and foreign gas cartels... Detroit makes few beefy fuel efficient Turbo Diesel vehicles like this. Versatility, strength, reliability, fuel economy.

OK, I've owned 2 dozen vehicles, foreign and domestic... Been driving 35 years. have driven everything from hi-tech racecars and sportscars to 20 ton vehicles, network TV trucks, state trooper cars and been professionally licensed to drive them all. ...

LOVE THAT 6.5 TURBO DIESEL

by ak1990
Nov 29 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Plenty of room. Rides and handles great. Push button 4 wheel drive auto trac system.
Cons: a/c system could be better.
The Bottom Line: Buy one! Tons of room, reliable, lots of nice features. Suburban has been around forever and no other manufacturer makes anything like it.

I purchased my GMC 2500 SLT 6.5 Turbo diesel used in May of 2001 with 65,000 miles on it. I fell in love with this vehicle the first time I drove it. For such a large truck it handles and rides very well. Around town gas mileage is 15 and highway ...

by bubbajames
Nov 26 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Does anything and everything everywhere.
Cons: Some minor fit and finish defects that might even be from previous owner
The Bottom Line: This truck is a great choice for work and play!

I have always liked the big boxy style of these trucks, and 1999 was the last year they came this way.(now they are a bit more curvey) I wanted a truck that could handle a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall and also be able to transport at least 4-6 ...

Pros: Can you say interior room?
Cons: gas mileage, size

We bought our first Suburban in 1999, after getting rid of our "uncool" minivan. We have four kids in our family, and this was one of the only SUVs that had a third seat and a lot of room in the rear area. I love this vehicle. Yes, its...

Pros: Size

We purchased a new 1999 GMC Suburban, in the spring of 1999. From the beginning, 34 miles, it has been a problem. One thing after another with the brakes. It has been to the shop 10 times. They have worked on them up till now. They say they are worn...

We bought our 1999 GMC 1500 SLE about 6 weeks ago and I can't even imagine

vehicle for our needs. We have three teenagers, who have myriad friends,

by wildlifesavr1
Sep 10 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: large capacity (for construction not suburban mothers)
Cons: gas guzzling DESTROYS environment

I was amazed when I was informed about this disgusting piece of metal. It is oversized and ugly. This is the equivilent of a truck that is used in construction. They are in fact very large and that an get very inconvenient when parking, driving on...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: It has a huge trunk.
Cons: The car is huge.

When most people think of a sport utility vehicle, they think of a huge, uncomfortable truck, that doesn't ride smoothly at all. The GMC Suburban is a sport utility vehicle that rides smoothly, has a huge interior, and is great for a family. This car...

Suburban Vs. Excursions: All in all, the Suburban kicks ASS!

by Night
May 12 '00 - Updated May 30 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great power, comfort, and reliability.
Cons: Gas guzzler, and higher rollover risk.

The GMC Suburban is the most reliable SUV I have ever driven. I've driven all of Ford's SUVs, and the Suburban topped all of them in almost every category. I believe that GMC/Chevrolet make the highest quality SUV, clearly shown in the Suburban.

May 01 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Ultimate versatility - great truck and great car!
Cons: A pain to park sometimes.

We're a small family - 2 adults, one toddler -- so a Suburban isn't the obvious choice... But I wanted to buy something with high marks for safety & reliability, and my husband wanted an SUV with lots room for dogs, camping gear, friends, etc. - and...

Looking for Bells and Whistles in your new Suburban?

by datatech1
Mar 19 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: excellent cruising truck - good vacation machine
Cons: Lacks the finer things you would expect in this price range

Plain and simply stated, the GMC suburban is a fantastic truck. The keyword here is truck. If you are expecting anymore than that, explore other options. In a Suburban, you will sit high atop the road and literally cruise along the highways with good...
