My 91 Suburban was purchased used with 85,000 miles on it. 17 years later 344,000 miles, mostly city miles with many California and Arizona vacations trips, Runs better than any new car. Engine is still great and smooth. Needed paint, Interior is like new when I replaced the dash and headliner. All repairs are just maintenance. Betsy will take me anywhere and safely. Someone did hit me 2015 and totaled the car by insurance standards. Lost all the water and oil, but I had to turn the engine off, it was still running fine. I had told everyone to bury me in it. I had plan to keep it until one of us passed away. Now looking for a new old suburban.

I bought my 1991 Suburban from a mechanic friend of mine as it was all he had that I could afford... and I have not regretted it since. Sure fuel economy is not the greatest, but then it is a 2+ ton vehicle all steel, and very safe. I'm not trading it in for all the cars in the world. Easy to drive, low center of gravity means less likely to roll over, and can take a beating and still keep going. All I need is a kitchen and a bathroom and I'd make him my home. He'll probably become a pile of rusted dust before I think of getting another vehicle. Though I will have to replace the radio eventually, it's the only thing that doesn't work in him.

I have had my '91 Suburban for four years now and I still love it! I come out to the parking lot and there is my black & blue monster truck - his name is Bruiser. He keeps me warm at night, he waits for me no matter how late I am, and he keeps me safe. No one is ever going to hurt me again in this big truck. And there is so much room - whether I am hauling kids or a washing machine. Long interstate drives are a pleasure, and I have slept in the back while camping. If you want a safe vehicle to carry your family in, I sugges

I purchased it to get the 8 passenger
seating plus it came with a plow.
Engine is ultra powerful! Tows large
loads without complaint. Plows snow
without even seeming to notice. My wife
loves the thing.

We have enjoyed our Suburban very much,
the 454 engine has lots of power. I
pull a trailer, 8 passengers and 8
bicycles and it flies. Regular repairs
and maintenance but at 135,000 it still
runs strong. I am very pleased and
reccomend anyone to buy one.
We love our tank

I bought the burb in 99 with 107000
miles on it. Since then, new lower
ball joints, heater core, blower motor,
brakes, usual stuff. The best thing
about this old beast is it's easy to
repair. The thing runs fantastic, gets
16-17 mpg on the hwy, and tows a 3000lb
popup with ease. My wife hit a 240 lb
deer at 55 mph with it. Damaged the
fender, hood, and passenger door.
Praise God she was in this ride instead
of the Accord, as it would have wound
up in her lap. If you can find an
old 91 in good shape, it will not
dissapoint you. We are currently
looking at newer ones, but this one has
been so reliable we hesitate to part
with it.
