If you think the 'Burban uses natural resources, you should see the kids!
The fact that it can crush a Nissan Sentra in an accident, leaving my family unharmed, is just icing on the cake.
Amen, brother. As I said to the poster of this piece above, I have seven children. Granted, a few are now out of the nest, but let me tell ya..........YOU just made a terrific purchase.
I've owned dozens of cars over the years, and I'd rate the Chevy Suburban as my second-favorite of them all (my '72 Vette convertible, my first car, is #1.......but I've owned 3 Porsches, Saabs, Volvo, Mazda, 280Z, etc. etc...you name it). I bought mine in '94; it's a '93 and had about 11K miles and was less than a full year old. It's the single best purchase I've ever made. Reliable, tough, unequalled visibility, can haul FAR more than you now imagine, and for families our size........bud, NOTHING beats 'em.
Mine now has over 175K miles and I'll drive it till it collapses. If it was stolen tomorrow, I'd buy another without hesitation. Congrats on your new purchase.
