The Suburban full size sport utility comes standard with daytime running lights, four wheel anti-lock brakes and a PassLock Theft-Deterrent System. The PassLock Theft-Deterrent System disables the vehicle from being started for 10 minutes if the correct key is not used. The Suburban is available in half-ton and three-quarter ton versions in either 2WD or 4WD. The Suburban is the only vehicle in its class to offer an optional diesel engine. Also available is the optional Homelink Transmitter. The standard Push Button Electronic Active Transfer Case is available in the 4WD models and will automatically engage 4WD when needed. It will revert back to 2WD for better economy when the extra traction is no longer needed.

*I have decided to write reviews on the five vehicles at my home at this time. From largest to smallest, these are all some of my favorite vehicles around!*
My model is the 1999 K2500 4 door SLT. The epinions site has this vehicle listed as sold for $30,203.2, HOWEVER, the epinions people didn't include all of the little extras (like a TV and VCR and Playstation, special paint job and brush guard, and lastly a 3 inch lift kit and 4WD) in the price. My Suburban cost $42,500 but it has been well worth it. I originally got cloth seats in it, but I have since had my seats re-upholstered in neoprene (wetsuit material) mainly because I transport the majority of my swimteam in my 'Burban'. The 'Burban' doesn't get great gas mileage, but one should expect that with such a huge vehicle. I frequently call it my "tanker" (I have a "yacht", a "boat", a "tug", a "clipper" and my "dingy"). Could you ever guess why?
I have only needed to take this 'Burban' into the shop for scheduled maintenance. I have had to get new shocks and struts put on, but that was because of the lift kit I had installed the day after I bought it.
I had the entertainment kit installed the day I bought it, it only took them the rest of the day and they drove it to my house and left it right on my doorstep. I wouldn't recommend just ANYONE running out and getting an entertainment kit on their Yukon XL (they're not Suburbans now), I had mine installed because I knew that I would be carrying kids around in it all the time.
One thing to look out for is the fact that if you're not used to driving such a large auto, you might want to test it in a large space with nothing nearby. You know that there is a story behind this...My bestfriend (who drives an Eclipse) tried to move the Tanker and ran over all 5 of my trash cans (which were crushed). She claims that it was because the seat was too far back and she had a hard time reaching the pedals, yet I know that it was because she couldn't see and wasn't used to driving such a large vehicle.
I had my seats re-upholstered in neoprene because I knew that I would be toting wet swimmers all over the South Eastern U.S. and I didn't want moldy and mildewed seats.
For the past 3 years, I have loved this vehicle. It has been a staple in my "Fleet". I hope that this has proved informative.
