As a Chevy guy, it was amazing hearing you discuss generational differences. My family has owned every generation and I’ve ridden in each one. Thank you!
The newest is like totally electronic and doesn't even have a rear axile - not sure it will hold up as well given all the issues electronics get with age. Computers just last 5 or 6 yrs. and then you throw them away!!!
Great video! I just bought a 97 suburban 100116 miles very solid truck for it’s age! I hope to have fun dressing it up! Has 4” lift air bags and new tires and wheels!!!
Thank you for removing those useless 22 inch wheels from the square body, I dont get why some people like that look on 4x4 vehicles, they make tire buying extremely expensive and ride quality bad. Great video and love the content!
I'm going through a big build on a 93 I just purchased. There are so many directions you can go, but I will be doing numerous things to improve power output and the overall appearance. It will be the western hunting rig.
I like seeing those square body ones, unlifted, stock ride height, stock tires and that ground effects thing they you'll put on it where it integrates the running board! the memories! 2 tone black/gold or white/blue goddamn!! and the velour interior😎
I just sold my '03, 1500, LT-Z71, 5.3L, 4WD. It has 330,000 miles on it and runs like a bear. I bought it from it's original owner with 275,000 well-maintained miles on it and had it for 7-years. It's only been 6 months, but man, do I miss it! I'd like to find a 'Loaded', '03-'06, 2500, Z71-LT with a 6.0L or 8.1L with no body rot (maybe from Texas)...
Pretty sure the 8th generation was the first offered at one point with a Z71 package. 9th generation is just when it became more popular and well known.
My 90 and 91 are soild axles and leaf springs in the front. And do very well. I see no difference between them to me they seem the same as my old 89 4x4 2500 I had.
Hello. I don't like brain and electronics in motor technology. It constantly crashes. It will be expensive to repair. That's why I prefer the 1980 series Chevrolet Suburban and Sierra models. I have a question for you. There are 2 vehicles. Which one would you recommend? 1. Vehicle: 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 5.7 Vortex. 2. Vehicle 1995 Chevrolet Suburban 7.4 (not Vortex). Both of these are beautiful and in good condition. Which engine do you think is more reliable and lasts longer? As someone who doesn't like electronics, which one would you recommend to me? Also, is the fuel consumption situation very different between these two vehicles? Thanks.
Both of them are good choices but I would say the 7 4 is better because it's more powerful and is attached to a much better transmission. The downside is fuel consumption but you gain power and better towing capacity.
@@Horizoncamperbuilds Thank you so much for answering my friend. I think so. It was a relief for me that you confirmed this. I'm following you. If I come to America one day, I would like to meet you. Thank you.
@@Horizoncamperbuilds I have one more question. Can you compare the 6.2 Diesel of the 1980s with the 7.4 of the 1990s? According to you, which one is better in terms of systems such as Transmission, Engine. Also do all of the 1990's 7.4's have differential locks on the rear axles? By the way, how much fuel does the 7.4 consume in the city?
@@OmniMIT Stay away from the old GM diesel engines. They are unreliable. The 7.4 is a safe choice and almost all of them came with rear diff locks and a heavy duty transmission. You're looking around 9 mpg in the city for the 7.4
Could you please talk more about the 4 wheel drive capabilities of these vehicles. You say that some of them have rear lockers, but aren't they all 4 wheel drive or are they just too will drive. Thank you
Suburbans can come in 2WD or 4WD. The 4WD models in the 7th Gens had front and rear lockers. The 8th Gens offered rear lockers on their 4WD 3/4 tons and the 9th and 10th Gens had rear lockers on their 4WD 3/4 tons and the 1/2 ton Z71 models. The newer gens didn't offer the 3/4 ton model but still had the Z71 off road package in their 1/2 tons which can also include rear lockers.
Did you really just say that the lift kit gives you ground clearance? Um, no it doesn't. Most lift kits are suspension lifts. They only lift the vehicle from the suspension. The only clearance increase you will get is from the body to the ground. This does nothing to prevent you from bottoming out your vehicle as the axle height isn't increased from a lift kit.

That 89 is looking so badass, can't wait to see it built out
Easiest way count the lug nuts 🤠 rookie 2 wheel drive has 5 lugs 4x4 1500 has 6 lugs 2500 has 8 lugs sheesh...wheel well flares 🤣😂
I have a 2wd Suburban, but it has 6 lugs for each wheel

Awesome selection of three generations of General motors suburban SUVs for overloading
That 7th gen looks like a beast

Everyone has their own taste, nothing wrong with that!
@@Horizoncamperbuilds 👍
I’ve got a 03 suburban 2500. Best camping rig for sure. Next upgrade she gets is the Duramax and Allison swap

how about compare each length for the next videos of the chevy suburban generations
Pretty sure the 8th generation was the first offered at one point with a Z71 package. 9th generation is just when it became more popular and well known.
Do a 10th gen 2500 suburban review!! If you have access that is! I've been looking at one not much for videos and info on them
Nice work! When will you begin doing the 07 to 13 models, love their 320 hp LS engines?
Eventually, when I find a good deal on one.
The 1987-'94 Vortex 350 with TBI was rated at 210 hp.
My 90 and 91 are soild axles and leaf springs in the front. And do very well. I see no difference between them to me they seem the same as my old 89 4x4 2500 I had.

@@Horizoncamperbuilds Thank you very much for this candid answer. Thanks to you, my choice will be 7.4. I am grateful.
What happened to the white Tahoe? Sorry if I missed when you talked about it
Sold
How does the 9th generation have more leg room than the 8th? All appearances are to the contrary
Awesome trucks. Weird use of the term “fully built.”

Generally a person who adds a lift kit also increases tire size, which does increase clearance.
