Positive Review
My uncle bought This 1993 2500 suburban brand new December 1992. He had a 1987 suburban and it got damaged in hurricane Andrew Miami Florida. He waited till December to get a new one. When we got the suburban I was 10 years old I am now 36 years old. It is a Two-tone blue and silver color. It has the factory hubcaps because at the time they didn’t have Alloy rims for the big spindle on the rear axle. He used to sell cars and tow cars from the auction with it as a kid. To make a long story short he finally gave it to me in 2003 with 433,000 miles on it We did change the transmission twice in it’s history but it still has the same engine and now it’s 600,000+ miles and now we are in February 1, 2020 and just came back from El Paso Texas with it back home to Miami still rolling like a beast I would not get rid of it for $1 million love it. Got it repainted everything is still original that came up From the factory did not do nothing special to it. I want to keep it the old-fashioned way.

Critical Review
Used as work truck for cleaning houses. No longer needed for that. Although not sure how we can get trash to dump in smaller cars. May need to think again?

Does it all with ease
The price of gas
This vehicle works like a truck and drives like a dream. She's done everything I've asked her to do with no problems. I love this thing.
Powerful, pretty good gas milage. Lots of room
The pass lock security and open recall
These suburban have an open recall since 2000 for passenger safety belt issue. Finding a dealer to do the recall is next to impossible. I had to contact GM for them to order a dealer to fix the recall. Every dealer I contacted refused to do it. Not only this year is affected by the recall
Reliability and longevity
Use of plastic gaskets incompatible with Dexcool
The GMT400 platform of Chevy/GMC trucks were the best. They are absolute legends when it comes to durability. Yes they have their quirks (like every vehicle make) but nothing that can’t be corrected by the widely available options of aftermarket parts. I think mine will last forever ;)
Motor strong as hell transmission just dropped overdrive and radiator has a small crack on driver side by top hose
Great reliable vehicle for off the grid
Bent pitman arm, needs powe steering pump
This truck has sat all winter and we just put battery in and starts every time. It needs a power steering pump. Bent pitman arm. Drives fine. Engine rebuilt 30,000 miles ago.
strength, durability, long lasting, affordable.
gas milage 11-13mpg., seat not the best fit.
I am the 3rd owner of this tough beast. It grew up on a farm 90 miles SW of KC. I bought it from a farm equip dealer the original owner sold it to. I grew up working on cars, ect as a kid in the 70's. This is on of the easiest vehicle's I have ever worked on. Only the Heat/AC AIR routes can be a pain. This Chevy is not only easy to preform most mechanical issues, but parts are both widely available AND overall affordable. Not just in the US as well. Even if you never worked on a car/ truck before, this would be one of the easiest places to start. Classic 350 engine is to me anyway, the most dependable, easiest to modify, upgradeable, engine in service over half a century.
Luxury
None
Motor, transmission, comfort outstanding
