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 ...

I've owned two Tahoe's (1995 & 1999) -- fully loaded. We got a puppy about 6 months ago and needed more space -- for the dog and three teenagers who don't want to "touch" each other.
I grew up with two Suburbans that my father...

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...

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 ...

Pros: Safety, towing, lots of room.
Cons: small electrical problems.
Our GMC 4x4 Suburban now has 109000 miles and has been very reliable for our family. Small electric problems can be a problem for example the electric windows work when they want to, and the a/c system isn't the best out there. These trucks are sturdy and will last a very long time if well maintained though.
