1995 Chevrolet Suburban User Reviews

Good Overall Standing - One Of The Last Few Well-built Chevy Trucks — I love this truck/SUV because it is tough and takes a beating. I can drive around with a carful of tools or family members to get the job done no matter what. The only downside to all that room, power, and solid body is the gas costs to run the big old beast.

Fantastic Vehicle. — This is my first vehicle. She is retired from EMS, as she was the tech truck and, sometimes, first responce. Stock 350. 4-L60 transmission.My boyfriend and I paid $1000 for this truck (Well technically $500 as we did a job for teh hospital and stripped a ambulance and were paid $500 to do it, so that went towards this truck.) and put about $2800 into it. The main thing that cost the most was a new transmission case, as the mechanic that it was taken to before I bought it did not put the skid plates back on so a build up of snow caused it to crack. My boyfriend built me a skid plate, as I do not know how to weld yet. We had to replace the starter, as that was going. For a while, the Suburban would eat batteries...the battery that came with it worked great...then suddenly needed a boost allt he time...then we bought a new battery and after a few months that one was toast...now I am hoping its done eating batteries. When this truck served for EMS it had regular maintnance every 3-6 months. The acceleration is not the greatest, sluggish. Breaks are fantastic. Steering is a little stiff. I will be dropping the cat and replacing the exhaust once it is nicer out. The exterior is white with a couple rust spots and dings. Bumpers are chrome. Tires are bald, needing new ones in the summer. The interior is blue but in great shape! Other than some mud on the seats and rust in the back that fell off of a chain, it is in great condition! This truck was used a lot this winter; pulling people out. I love driving this truck. She is a gas pig, but what do you expect out of a V8!? Sadly, she has IFS. Once I have the time, money, and knowledge I will be doing a solid front axel swap. I plan to lift her about 6" and put 35s on her. I am going to start airbrushing soon and plan to paint her black. This will be my daily driver for a while, but I plan to retire her to a full time off road vehicle and lift it about another 6". I removed the running boards as I can have MORE clearance...and it looks better. This truck is, so far, my greatest investment!!

I Love My Suburban — Everything about this vehicle is perfect for me, from the towing capabilities, to the fact that my whole family can fit in it, and we still have room to put stuff in the back. The paint job is perfect for me. The Vortec 350 has plenty of power, and being it's a 4x4 is perfect for summer mudding or for the winter snow around here. My only issue is the 4L60E transmission, had to replace the first winter I had it, the housing cracked. When I unbolted it from the transfer case, 5 pieces fell into my hand.
