"Best vehicle ever!!"
"This truck has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. It has been dependable and reliable for me for all these years. Now that she has blew her engine I will give her a new one and carry on, I love this truck!!!!!!"
"Great big truck I love."
"This truck is now 20 years old. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. I live in an area which is very very bad for rust because of heavy salt use so it does have some rust which has developed over tome. I bought this Suburban with 190 thousand miles on it and now it has 207,000. I did have to replace the fuel pump and some other parts but now it just runs and drives like a dream. Use it for anything, it can haul whatever you can stuff into it. Its huge and the gas tank is a whopping 42 gallons.....insane! You can find them really cheap and they are still very common."
