1989 GMC Suburban SLE review from North America
"Durable, dependable, worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injectors replaced when 5 years old.
Yearly front end alignment.
Replaced shocks 4 times. Need to get top end models due to weight.
Quarter panel and fender rust, but not bad for 15 years old.
General comments?
This is the ultimate family vehicle, lot of room, power and dependability.
I'd buy another one in a moment if could afford a new one.
