Keeping this truck for the long haul. Waiting for the snow up in the hills and rain in the valleys.
Good all around truck and would recommend to others. But you have to be aware of its history. I was lucky with this truck.Sep 30, 2014

This vehicle is excellent for travel! I've made many trips to NC in it with my 3 kids and brought back furniture and tons of other things! It seats 8 comfortably and the seats are easier to maneuver than that of a mini van. I've driven it in the snow and it drove like a charm!Aug 16, 2013

Driven it on the beaches of Florida, Great Smoky Mountains (about 30 trips), pulled a camper many times, and slid down icy roads. It has withstood years of use and abuse. New engine at 225,000 because we just could not part with our Blue Burb. Now over 100k miles on the rebuilt engine and still rollin'.. Took around Altanta Motor Speedway a couple of years ago - my teenage son decided to see if she still could get up and go - he took it over 100 mph and it did fine - my wife about died. We have driven it off road, across sand dunes, around racetracks, and over mountains. We could not have had a better vehicle for raising our kids. Never have changed the struts or shocks so it now just bounces down the highway!Nov 27, 2012

Pretty much the best vehicle of its time. It accelerates like a motherlover and the cruise is really smooth. It tows like a tractor, but it also steers like one. The brakes are the only performance related thing that really put me off about it, and they're REALLY bad. Only thing I've really had problems with maintenance wise so far is the battery. Guzzles gas like crazy, but the tank is so big you really don't need to worry about that very often. This is probably the best road trip vehicle in the world, and can with 700lbs of skiing supplies in the back, beat almost anything off the line.May 19, 2009

With the 454, this truck was way faster than it should have been.
But 11mpg on the freeway when you are going easy on it hurts.Jan 22, 2008

1997 Chevy Suburban, at 60mph, No Start.
it just shut off. It cranked over just fine, no start. I got it towed home. I can hear the fuel pump running when I turn the switch on. I sprayed starting fluid in the carb, starts and runs till that fluid is gone. Please advise, I'm at a loss.
