    The one and only unique chevy surburban I owned .

    This car fufilled all my needs. It was huge inside I had enough room to fit friends and all my family. I could put all my groceries and as well as my clothes in this vehicle. Everytime I pulled up somewhere people would say nice vehicle and where did you get it from. This vehicle ran great this was my favorite vehicle

    Very Big

    I use this car for pulling a trailer and people, the car is big enough to fit 8 people! The back of it is already big, but you can fold down the back seats to get more room. And the 4WD, the amount of room and the towing capability make it perfect for camping.

    I love this car!!!

    I've had my Suburban for 13 years now and it's still going strong. 270,000 miles on it and very few problems over the years. We've been car shopping for a new smaller vehicle and have found very little out there that seems to be a slam-dunk like this car was. We've been asked: "are you trading it in?" No Way!!

    Amazingly reliable

    The 98 Suburban with it's combination of a well designed comfortable interior and an exterior with rugged reliability in all situations in mind, is an outstanding choice! Easily expect 180k miles before needing to replace either the transmission or the engine. The vehicle is so durable that it is easy to see it easily accomplishing 500k miles!

    Best SUV for the $$

    This Suv is nice but alot of engine noise and its has somewhat body roll when going around the tight bends in the roads but comfort wise it is very roomy. The seats are leather and heated so in the sunmmer its good. but as far as windows the right passenger back door window it goes down sometimes but hope it will come back up.
