I just got the car a week ago and runs like a new suv! some things are not that good like windows, doors and stuff that a 12 year old car always will have, nothing I can't afford.i m planning on put some headers and new moflers, maybe a k&n filter for better performance
Incredible power in the street, highway and off road, a monster! the 350 v8 engine makes you feel the suv power running all the time.
The manual is pretty tough and the 4wd is the best I have ever tried.
I definitely buy another one!
What do you mean "the manual is tough?" I'd be very interested to know this.
The manual (gear box), super 1st ideal for towing, 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

I've owned four Suburbans, 3- 4x4 and 1 was 2wd.
There is nothing better that I've found for driving on snowy roads. The long wheelbase and weight of the beast gets it going and keeps it straight. That said, I've owned two 4 Runners, a Pathfinder (presently) and a Nissan pickup. If you drive in snow and don't mind poor mileage (relatively speaking) you won't find anything better than a Suburban. Plus, used ones are cheap!!
The cons: Besides mileage, the brakes can be a pain. This is a heavy vehicle and the brakes tend to be a problem area. If you can afford it, maybe aftermarket heavy duty brakes would be a good investment.
Also, one of the beasts was a 1/2 ton, a 1500. I would go for the 3/4 ton variety if you have a choice. You get taller tires and heavier suspension. Works better if you tow.
