1999 GMC Suburban SLT review from North America
"Not a better family/towing vehicle out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Conditioning lost it's charge.
Water pump went out at 40,000 miles.
General comments?
This was the last year of this style of Suburban, and we love it! The GMC model is far superior to the Chevrolet especially in the looks and comfort department.
All the nonsense about front brakes wearing out is just that. We have almost 50,000 on the originals and I tow a 2400 lb race car 250 miles nearly every weekend from May through September. There is not a better vehicle out there for towing!
My wife loved our 1991 Camry, but she LOVES this Suburban. I will never get her to part with it!
