After years of trying many of the iconic 4x4's from the last several decades I think I found the best, cheapest, large SUV ever made. Meet the GMT 400 Suburban

You do realize, Tommy, that the more you come out of your shell the more fun you are to watch as a presenter. You really know your stuff and your comments are hilarious - Fisher Price window switches! You're gonna end up taking over TFL from your dad one day and you guys will always have me as a fan. Great review, great laughs first thing in the morning!

My '99 Suburban has over 383, 000 miles on the original engine and transmission! My parents purchased it back in March of '03 with just 81, 000 miles. I have to agree with Tommy, they are very comfortable both inside and while floating down the highway.

This is my favorite type of content you guys create. Back in the 90's you didn't really think about buying a 20 year old vehicle to be your reliable daily...now it's pretty common. Just goes to show you how good these were. Thanks for another great video!

Great truck - $4000 is actually a really decent price for a good condition truck.

The suburban is the longest running production vehicle in the world first introduced in 1936 still in production today pretty cool

The GMT 400 platform has aged so well. Such a sharp, clean design.

Love the fact it still has a Burt logo. That thing never left Colorado.
My father's daily driver is a 96 Suburban my parents bought in 97. I learned how to drive in that thing. It was our family car that replaced our Astro van.

I grew up in the backseat of one of the 1994 suburbans 1500 LT model
I remember when my mom traded it on a 2002 chevy tahoe.
And having a cd player was awesome in 2002
She still drives that taho to this day. 180, 000 and still trucking along in 2022.

$4, 000? That’s awesome! I love this generation of Suburban. Plus the fact that it’s a GMC makes me like it even more.

[josephdamico]

My first vehicle was a ‘97 Tahoe that I got for $4500 back in 2007. Durable, comfortable, plenty of power from the 350 to pull my boat. Wish I still had it. And he’s not wrong about those seats! Best seats in any vehicle ever, way more comfortable than my ‘19 Silverado!

Tommy is quickly becoming my favorite automotive host across any channel

I own a 98 K2500 with the 454 and absolutely love it. I brought it 7 years ago with 89k miles from original owner for $4k. I'm confident it will outlast any modern SUV. Yes, it is thirsty but I can buy a lot of gas for less than a huge monthly payment for a newer one.

[larrymelroy]

I have a 1999 GMC suburban just like that one and has virtually no rust I paid 3, 500 for mine 4 years ago and absolutely love it.

[KyleLunsford]

Couldn't agree more! I got my '97 GMC suburban K2500 last year for $2400, minimal rust with the 454, it's got 285k miles on it now and still running strong

[BYLRPhil]

So glad to see you guys giving old Suburbans some love! Vastly underrated amongst “overlanders”.

[gagejaeger]

Absolutely love the GMT400 trucks, and this one is no exception. Personally though, I would have rather seen a GMT800 model go up against the Excursion in the upcoming series! Either way I'm looking forward to it!

[theruralwrencher]

I’m definitely a fan of this era of gm, I grew up with these things. My parents had a 98 suburban and a 01 1ton durmax, my neighbor’s both had 99 1/2tons, then my first truck was an 02 s10 zr2. Very fond of these old gms because when something breaks they ain’t hard to fix or figure out what’s going on, and there’s all kinds of aftermarket support. Overall they’re some good vehicles.

I have a 1994 Chevy Suburban K1500 that has been in our family for 22 years. It's been a loyal companion through many stages of my life. It's old, rusty, and the clear coat is faded but I love it and I will never get rid of it. I don't know why but when you get in and start it up; it just feels like you get transported back to a more simplistic era and for a little while, the problems of today go away. If my wife would let me, I'd buy one for each day of the week lol. Thanks for posting this and sharing the simple pleasures of a 90s GMT400 truck. They are really a piece of 90s Americana

You missed the GT4 option = 3.73 gear ratio. Also with those miles if they haven't failed already, change the intake gaskets before you get Coolant in the oil and the infamous spider injectors. Also replace the distributor for good measure and your good for another 200, 000 miles.

Got a 93 4x4 with the 454 and 4l80e I love mine and can’t wait for the next adventure. Also a 98 Tahoe in amazing shape with 113k most everything stock. Thanks TFL for covering this great SUV.
