Best vehicle w/3rd seat? Durango? Sub/Yukon?

[VintageMusclecar]

FWIW;

I have a `95 Suburban 3/4 ton 454 automatic, and I lovingly refer to it as my "anvil." Of all the vehicles I've ever owned, this has by far been the best in terms of reliability and versatility. The only trouble I've had out of it was the ubiquitous toasted wiper motor and a worn-out pitman arm. I bought it with 116K miles almost 4 years ago and it's showing almost 139K now...still rides/drives like a new truck.

GM did their homework on the Suburbans.

HTH.

19 yrs. in the business, ran a dodge store for 7 1/2 yrs, own 2 gmc stores with partners as well. durango handles and drives better, but, has been prone to some rearend problems from 98-00.it also sucks the gas down. having owned both i would advise a 1999 suburban and can get you one at almost anytime $15500-$19000 depending on miles you are willing to accept.

Is '99 the body change for the Suburban? Seems like 1999 models keep coming up, are there other differences?

The '99 model year Suburban was the last of that body style. The '00 is a new design. In my opinion, it seems that GM usually produces the best vehicles at the end of the model run since most of the problem issues have been resolved.

Also, due to the new design in '00, the '99's tend to have a less expensive price because it is now the "old" body style.

Currently I own a 98 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 454 suburban. It is the 9th one in the family and highly recommend them. I also currently own a 2000 dodge dakota 2wd with the 5.9litre v8 which at half the weight gets only 1 mpg better than the suburban and has spent a day for every month old in the dealership for engine repairs. Go with the sub/yukon all the way! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]
