1998 Chevrolet Suburban LS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator was defective the day it was bought and was replaced under warranty, otherwise with normal scheduled maintenance it's been a great truck with no problems.
General comments?
Good things:
Good ride for a truck..... 255hp 335lbft vortec 350 with 3.73 locker rear end, accelerates nicely considering the size of the vehicle, tows a boat effortlessly, room for anything or anyone.
Confident handling... decent gas mileage (usually 12 city, 15-17 highway) for a truck. 4wd system works good, haven't got stuck yet in mud, snow, or sand.
Bad things:
Fuel costs... but what do you expect with a truck with a V-8?
Overpriced... although you get a lot more truck than you would with a Jeep Grand Cherokee or one of those Lexus SUV's... and those cost 3-4000 more than my Suburban.... besides that I have no complaints about this truck.
