What's up Car Nerds?? We finally did the Suburban! Can you find the Suburban at 4:52? If you stare at the screen and unfocus your eyes it will pop out in 3D!
F-150 guy here. Rented a new 19 Suburban and drove across half the country. Did 3500 miles. By the second day it had become referred to as "The Burb". Had seven in it and packed with luggage. Still had room for another and all their stuff. Did 23.5 mpg hand calculated. Handing the keys back was rough. I'm in love.
My wife and I rented a 19 Tahoe for a vacation. Just two of us for the road trip but 6 of us rode around in it locally. Packed with luggage and coolers it got 28MPG with the variable displacement active. I want one.
similar experience here! went to California for Thanksgiving last year the vehicle we had rented was unavailable so they gave us a free upgrade to a Suburban. It drove like a dream and it held 7 no problem. I have been looking for a decent used one but they fly off the lot before I can get in.
Lol it's funny. Americans think 20mpg is good mileage, over in Europe where gas doesn't cost the price of a pickle we get 40 to 75mpg. Happily driving 1.7 litre diesel
Found this channel yesterday, spent 10 minutes looking for a suburban video... good timing. Grew up with that truck, new one every 3 years or so. My dad still has the last one he bought, a 2010.
Jesse Mora suburbans are wid it use em at work never knew too much about em so this was nice, I tried finding videos of it swinging but the one from the intro was the best I’ve seen I talked to my girl about suburbans recently cause my dad was able to borrow the one from work to go out and it was fun.. it’s comfy and quick I wouldn’t understand why you’d hate one besides them Lyft/ Uber niggas in Hollywood area... my girl gonna love this vid it’s funny
I recently took my 02 suburban, with over 300,000 miles, on a 600 mile ride trip. The only issue it gave me was the air conditioning. One of the best vehicles I’ve ever driven on or off road.
@@v3zMedia i cant say i know about the suburbans. as long as you get a smaller motor you should be fine, plus im not sure if the 2013’s have that issue edit: i should also mention that it has the denali package which should have a 6.0, and i think the transmission is just the weak link, since it cant keep up with the torque of the motor + how much weight its having to push
Im from Belgium and when we went to New York with my familly we rented a Suburban there. It was the most american thing that i have seen/sat in. We loved everysingle part of it it was so big 😂. By far my best memories of the trip
maybe they're far from a perfect vehicle, but god damn when you see a convoy of black suburbans (or Tahoes etc), the dominant presence is just in your face. love it
They're alright, but the new ones are way too underpowered. It weighs 6000lbs, it should be making 400hp minimum and have a 600hp supercharged v8 as an option. Paying over $40k for a vehicle that does more than a 14 second quarter mile is a rip off.
I live in Tunisia, just near the US embassy. The only American cars sold here are the Cruze, the Aveo, the Mustang and some fiat Jeeps, but those are technically sold worldwide now. Every time I go to work in the morning, there's a fleet of black suburbans with big armored bumpers going in and out of the embassy. They truly do strike fear.
Man I remember a couple of years ago seeing 4 ninth gen burbans back to back, bark blue, with push bars, foglights, a little bit more lifted, all blacked out windows. With what looked like an ambulance, but dark blue and tinted the fuck out right behind them. I was like that looks so badass.
I got a 99 Suburban. The 2500 model with the 7.4L about a year ago. She was neglected by the previous owner, but a little bit of love and a 1200 mile road trip later, she's running stronger than ever!
My father had a 1985 Chevrolet Suburban in gloss white paint with blue interior, good ole 350 with dual exhaust, Mickey Thompson rims wrapped in kelly charger tires, air shocks, and lowered 2 inches. It was a fun vehicle to drive and cruise in. It sucked filling it up while being in high school. It took a $20 to just fill it up a 1/4 at a time lol. Drove like a Cadillac!
SICK ASS RIG DUDE! My friend got a Escalade 6.2L v8 (same platform) and it was a badass! We smoked couple of porsche boxter on 1/4 miles....damnn soo cool Tho!

The Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon is by far one of the most cars that screams 'Murica along with the F series trucks and large old full sized sedans. These are also pretty common here in the gulf states in the middle east.
Suburban is all time favorite car ever, never going to be a bad truck/SUV. My family has the 2007 LT model. It's so good, it looks like a midnight edition.
You sure its a queen? My 97 the queen folds up on the sides over the wheel wells and wont lie perfectly flat, but couple inches a full size slips right in like a glove in between the wheels, with room for gear in the corners
Serveck I believe it was a queen with some custom alterations to make it fit perfectly. Also had a kid-size bunk bed fitted widthways along the back window.
In high school, we had a late 80's model "Bourdon" with the barn doors and a stick shift. When you have a family of 7, you needed a Suburban. It was a beast! We bought it used, someone had put an old cast-iron cemetery gate on the front and lovingly named it the "Bondo Buggy."
I grew up riding in a 9th Gen. had 230k miles on it before the rear end rusted out. It is true what they say about GM trucks; "You know its going to last when the check engine light comes on."
I originally wanted the Cadillac, but learned they were expensive & hard to fix. So I opted for the Suburban, I didn’t realize how badass they were & that they were reliable & easy to fix #SububanGang 🔥

This episode really made me smile. First thing I ever drove I was my dad's 1986 burban 4x4. Thank you for making this episode. Keep it up. Lightning lightning lightning.
Love the Suburban!! I’ve had a ‘68, ‘86 and a 2001. The 2001 has over 500,000kms ( 0ver 300,000 miles!) She still runs but I’ve retired her. She’s still in my yard...’cause I still love’er. Nice video, donut man.
*I had a 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon. LT1 270hp, 331 Lbs ft. 5.7L V7, RWD. Aluminum rims, chrome trim, red wine vinyl interior, digital auto climate control, 6 speaker surround system. Tinted windows, black exterior with a vista rear sunfroof. An 8 seater to end all cars.* *It was my favorite GM. It was my car version of a Suburban.*
I saw a suburban with tints on the front window. It was about 1 meter Long. And 1 foot wide rectangle you could see out of. The rest was blacked out... Which is pretty illegal where i live, but very cool.
Flashback to my high school days: going with my dad and grandpa (both of whom were Chevy guys) took me to get my first ride and I pick an '03 Suburban, which only costed $7k back then. Been in the Suburban game since. Fast forward to today, my Escalade ESV V-Series has been unloaded off of the truck and I'm headed to the dealer to pick it up.
Ehhh as much as I like Silverado’s it would be a boring episode. There’s nothing SUPER special about them. Their just generally considered strong reliable trucks for the most part. It would be like doing an Up to Speed on a Toyota Camry. But that’s just my opinion
At different points..I've had 2003 yukon xl denali, 2005 escalade esv, 2002 yukon xl, and for the past few years 2018 Suburban...love love love GM/Chevy full body - go bow ties!
When you guys doing the Plymouth Cuda, Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am, Plymouth Roadrunner, Or better yet Dodge Coronet/Super Bee. Also hi guys been a fan since 2017 keep up the videos
Man, I remember seeing the Suburban 75th anniversary Diamond Edition at the dealership. It was glorious, and I was a kid with huge love for GM. Now I don’t love them as much as before, but the Suburban will always have a special place in my heart. As well as the Toyota Land Cruiser.
My late grandfather drove a 'burb. In the 1970s, everyone was driving station wagons. My grandfather proverbially noted, "In fifty years, everyone will be driving Suburbans" Well, he was right sort of. Clearly not everyone, but they certainly are popular. One must consider how this car, above all others, has been in production since 1935-while many other brands and models have faded away with the passage of time.
Great video! My mother got hers brand new in 2005 and then our neighbor got a brand new Yukon and our other neighbor got a brand Tahoe Z71. She started the trend in our cul-de-sac all purchased within the year😂
Thank you Donut Media for making truly entertaining videos, and keeping politics and all non car related drama out of your content. I love having a channel that I can always count on making videos just about cars and the people who love them.
Just purchased a fully loaded 97..Burb. 1500 4x4 5'7 parked..7. Years ..chrome intact for the men if you're going to drive a Burb you gotta grow a Beard very proud father ..
@@asmith7094 Great. Just traveled from Florida to Minnesota at end of June and realized I'm getting about 700 miles to the tank (42 gallons). Love my Burb.
@@asmith7094 Oh and finally hit 196,052 original miles. Was originally used as a farm vehicle in Arizona and sold to me in 2020 in California. Almost no rust except the exhaust. Love my Beast.
My '99 2500 8th gen is one of my favorite rigs I've ever owned. 454 woth 270k miles and still going really strong. Heated leather piwer seats, heated side mirrors and front/ heat and ac. My friends '10 Escalade has ac seats and that's the only thing my truck doesn't have. I love it and will drop in engine and trans as needed. I'm not getting rid of it.
I own a fully blacked out 2012 Suburban. As far as I'm concerned.. it's the ultimate classic American vehicle and I intend to keep and maintain it for the rest of my life. Nothing like it.
Bro I don’t even really like suburbans I just want to watch videos with James in them that I haven’t already seen. I think that says a lot about his ability as a host
I love the Up to Speed videos. As a guy who wasn’t a big car guy growing up it’s great to watch videos that are fun and I get to learn more about cars and their history’s
@@thesuperjank6109 I was about to say, which one? I used to have one of those, had one gear but would haul ass. Pretty fun. One day it just quit running on me and that was that..
A long ass time ago (I was in 6th or 7th grade now I’m 19), my dad got into a wreck in his Mazdaspeed 6, so we had to get a rental. The rental we got was a black 2013 or so suburban. I remember my dad saying how he didn’t like it but he had to get it because it was the only vehicle the rental agency had. And I was in orchestra back then so we had to go get my cello. Needless to say it fit effortlessly and I still felt like I could have a tennis match inside of the suburban. I’ve always loved em and I always will
I have a 2002 Suburban Z71 4x4, and it is the absolute best beater of all time. I bought her from the crusher for $175 and all she needed was a trans. $650 later and she is absolutely amazing. She’s taken more abuse than anything else I’ve ever owned, and it is the reason I’m in love with the 99-07 classic trucks. She’s rough, but she’s a beater. She has a 3” lift and some nice meaty tires and she can go absolutely anywhere you what her to and still haul 8 people. It’s incredible. Long live ruby the Burb!
1) Thank you so much for making an up to speed of my favorite vehicle of all time. I grew up in Janesville, WI. My dad’s friends put together the suburban I grew up in and drove through high school. We’ve owned three and now I get to drive UNLs fleet burbs. 2) the Tahoe and Suburban were released at the same time in 2008- perhaps you meant the Tahoe/suburban took cues from the Silverado? 3) the latest gen suburban was out for the 2015 model year- check out 2014 suburbans on the used market
Quote “There are stories of dudes taking heavy fire making it out of sticky situations in suburbans riddled with bullet holes.” Biggie may have been shot in one but the driver was unharmed and could have kept going. Lol like where your heads at, but he technically never said they are bullet proof.
Both my dad and my grandfather own a Suburban. My dad's is a 2012 and my Grandpa has the latest version. My grandpa, I'm pretty sure, has owned maybe every version of Suburban since 1995. Living out here in Central PA since then has caused him to crash into several, poor deer, nearly totaling the truck every time. It was the perfect excuse to upgrade to the newest version every year. He inspired my dad to buy his Suburban, like father like son.
My Grandfather had a 1950 and a 1968 GMC Suburban ..... My Father had a 1974 Chevy Suburban as well as a 2007 Suburban .... These things are awesome ..... This video is great .... I used a 2003 Z71 Suburban which was super cool .... Now I have a 2010 LTZ .... The Suburban runs in my family for the longest time ...
Here (in Paraguay) when Alfredo Stroessner was president (dictator) from 1954 to 1989, during his government the police bought the 6th, 7th, and 8th gen, the name given from the people was Caperucita Roja (like the story of the Little Red Riding Hood) because it was red, and it was also used a lot to kidnap people who were suspected of being against the president or had left-wing thinking and they were taken to a few places to be tortured or made disappear (they killed them), if you ask someone who lived in that era, he will tell you that everyone was afraid if the Caperucita stopped in front of your house or followed you which meant that they were watching and/or chasing you; personally i think it was the best police vehicle we had. And obviously the embassy of United States has an armored fleet! we had
@@Ckcdillpickle Yes it's very sad. It doesn't look good and it's lying. Truly a mortal sin in car styling. The only thing worse, fake chrome on fake vents.
The dually 'Suburban' you see actually wasn't mass produced. It was an option to have the Suburban body placed on a 1-ton chassis for a Silverado. They are extremely rare (the most notable one being used in the movie Twister). But the Suburban diesels were around - albeit they were kind of junky unfortunately. The diesels were ahead of their time, and people didn't know how to maintain them; so they didn't last very long.
@@Big_Buford The specific diesels used in the production models were actually quite obsolete compared to those used by Ford and Dodge. GM didn't have a decent diesel option for their trucks until 2001, which was also when they stopped offering a diesel option for the Suburban.
@@theunknownone5990 also gm just didnt offer their diesels in the trucks because the only ones that made sense where their experiments with 4 strokes because they weight in at less then gms 3 cylinder diesels while producing more power. Albeit less reliable then gm diesel/detroit/emd options they really where the ones that made sense as they produced them inhouse like all Detroit and emd diesels till they sold them the series 50 and 60 where codesigned by John Deere's so gm had plenty of very good options just you didnt get them below a medium duty because of weight
@@aduptuniform2647 Idk but alot before he bought it. It was used by couple that had a daycare service and they bought it new in 1991 and it was used as a mini school bus most of it's working life. But my geuss of the mileage would be between 250k to 375k miles would be my geuss
Love. My. Suburban. Bess is aging and needs a lot of love, but she gets me where I need to go in relative comfort, including that nasty sand bog in southern Utah she handled like a champ.
You can drive 600 miles on a road trip before you have to fill-er-up. I had a 2015 Suburban that I drove from Philadelphia to Florida. I only had to stop once in Florence, SC for a refill. If it’s just city driving in Philly, you can go 400 miles between fill ups, and it runs on 87 octane.
And if you didn’t realize, suburban was rivaled by one thing, The Ford Excursion witch is being discontinued. And you forgot to add in the Escalade ESV.
What's up Car Nerds?? We finally did the Suburban! Can you find the Suburban at 4:52? If you stare at the screen and unfocus your eyes it will pop out in 3D!

I'm stuck between the 9 10 and 11 generation trucks
I have gen 11 and 12

Where's the car? I can only see tires
I think itd be dope to see how the paint process for cars has changed over the decades.
This episode really made me smile. First thing I ever drove I was my dad's 1986 burban 4x4. Thank you for making this episode. Keep it up. Lightning lightning lightning.
“CARTELS GOTS TO HAVE EM” LMAO FACTS B🤣🗣
Love the Suburban!! I’ve had a ‘68, ‘86 and a 2001. The 2001 has over 500,000kms ( 0ver 300,000 miles!) She still runs but I’ve retired her. She’s still in my yard...’cause I still love’er. Nice video, donut man.
*I had a 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon. LT1 270hp, 331 Lbs ft. 5.7L V7, RWD. Aluminum rims, chrome trim, red wine vinyl interior, digital auto climate control, 6 speaker surround system. Tinted windows, black exterior with a vista rear sunfroof. An 8 seater to end all cars.*
*It was my favorite GM. It was my car version of a Suburban.*
Buy one in black with fully tented windows and I guarantee you that everybody will move out of your way.. lol
where can i get tented windows? are they for when you're going out on a weekender but dont have a caravan?
Has to be a mid '90s to mid 2000s model
I saw a suburban with tints on the front window. It was about 1 meter Long. And 1 foot wide rectangle you could see out of. The rest was blacked out... Which is pretty illegal where i live, but very cool.
75IFFY you can get your windows tinted in any car customization shop in your area depending on the legal percentage of tint allowed ..

Lol

I took my driving exam in a suburban. I didn’t park in between the cones but they let me reverse and try again cuz the car was so huge. I passed!
I did mine in one and just had to back into an ordinary parking stall. After trying and failing several times at parallel parking.
Flashback to my high school days: going with my dad and grandpa (both of whom were Chevy guys) took me to get my first ride and I pick an '03 Suburban, which only costed $7k back then. Been in the Suburban game since. Fast forward to today, my Escalade ESV V-Series has been unloaded off of the truck and I'm headed to the dealer to pick it up.
I just paused a Cleetus and Cars video to watch this Up to Speed episode!!!
Any Silverado Up to Speed episode coming soon?
I literally just did the same exact thing!
So 2000 up chevy pickups. That's when silverado became a model. Other wise it's just a trim package.
Ehhh as much as I like Silverado’s it would be a boring episode. There’s nothing SUPER special about them. Their just generally considered strong reliable trucks for the most part. It would be like doing an Up to Speed on a Toyota Camry. But that’s just my opinion
You don't turn off cletus videos. Thats a rule of youtube.
"rest in peace big poppa, he used to love when I called him that"

At different points..I've had 2003 yukon xl denali, 2005 escalade esv, 2002 yukon xl, and for the past few years 2018 Suburban...love love love GM/Chevy full body - go bow ties!
Been waiting for this video for a long time.
HPGAMING 2002 well here ya go! We did it all for you buddy boy! 🙃
When you guys doing the Plymouth Cuda, Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am, Plymouth Roadrunner, Or better yet Dodge Coronet/Super Bee. Also hi guys been a fan since 2017 keep up the videos
You and me Both buddy
Man, I remember seeing the Suburban 75th anniversary Diamond Edition at the dealership. It was glorious, and I was a kid with huge love for GM. Now I don’t love them as much as before, but the Suburban will always have a special place in my heart. As well as the Toyota Land Cruiser.
My late grandfather drove a 'burb. In the 1970s, everyone was driving station wagons. My grandfather proverbially noted, "In fifty years, everyone will be driving Suburbans"
Well, he was right sort of. Clearly not everyone, but they certainly are popular. One must consider how this car, above all others, has been in production since 1935-while many other brands and models have faded away with the passage of time.
Not in the 70s we were driving vans but they ruined the van market makeing them all look the same so we switched to burbs
I love my 2009 suburban. When my dad first bought it, I was only a kid. Now that I'm a grown man, he gave it to me and it means a lot to me.
Great video! My mother got hers brand new in 2005 and then our neighbor got a brand new Yukon and our other neighbor got a brand Tahoe Z71. She started the trend in our cul-de-sac all purchased within the year😂
My dad has had the same suburban since 2002 and it still runs amazing its an absolute beast
The best gen of General Motors vehicles is from 1999 to 2006

4 Years late to the show but I have a 2004 Yukon XL. Absolutely love it. 412,000km on the original drivetrain and still goin strong.
514 dislikers are Ford Expedition owners
Or excursion.
Expedition is still better
Excursion beats it hands down. ....not just because it's a ford
They're cars to me. Ups and downs
David Fox depends. I wouldn’t own a gas excursion but a 7.3 diesel excursion is the best suv I can think of.
Thank you Donut Media for making truly entertaining videos, and keeping politics and all non car related drama out of your content. I love having a channel that I can always count on making videos just about cars and the people who love them.
7:03 and it's missing a lugnut.
probably a wheel lock? idk
Yea, it’s a wheel lug cover
up to speed videos are just nostalgic now, love going back to these old videos
Loved the info you had about the Chevy Suburban. I just bought a 1997 model with the 350 Vortec engine. Body is perfect and engine runs great.
Just purchased a fully loaded 97..Burb. 1500 4x4 5'7 parked..7. Years ..chrome intact for the men if you're going to drive a Burb you gotta grow a Beard very proud father
..
How’s the burb treating you?
@@asmith7094 Great. Just traveled from Florida to Minnesota at end of June and realized I'm getting about 700 miles to the tank (42 gallons). Love my Burb.
@@asmith7094 Oh and finally hit 196,052 original miles. Was originally used as a farm vehicle in Arizona and sold to me in 2020 in California. Almost no rust except the exhaust. Love my Beast.
Rest in peace big papa - he loved when they called him that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
My '99 2500 8th gen is one of my favorite rigs I've ever owned. 454 woth 270k miles and still going really strong. Heated leather piwer seats, heated side mirrors and front/ heat and ac. My friends '10 Escalade has ac seats and that's the only thing my truck doesn't have. I love it and will drop in engine and trans as needed. I'm not getting rid of it.
I own a fully blacked out 2012 Suburban. As far as I'm concerned.. it's the ultimate classic American vehicle and I intend to keep and maintain it for the rest of my life. Nothing like it.
That Dually Suburban from Twister 👌👌
Toni De Cavalcante you mean the dually Chevy truck with the cap on the bed??
@@cats400 Really a Suburban though, custom obviously. They used the fenders off a 30 series dually.

I love the Up to Speed videos. As a guy who wasn’t a big car guy growing up it’s great to watch videos that are fun and I get to learn more about cars and their history’s
Who else learned to drive in a Suburban?
yup
99 burban
94 work truck burb. Can't get more murican.
1990 Suburban, still have it too.
Learned in an 07 still my favorite road trip vehicle
Pumphrey can get me excited about literally any car.
0:13 that escalated quickly
I thought the timestamp would show an Escalade XL.
I'm a chevy man. You forgot to mention the suburban that had a steering wheel *NOT CENTERED TO THE HECKIN DRIVER SEAT*
@@gladysle1274 well isn't that just the derndest thing
@@gladysle1274 also there are no videos on your channel
Now do up to speed on the Honda Odyssey plz it would be a great video for the laughs

A long ass time ago (I was in 6th or 7th grade now I’m 19), my dad got into a wreck in his Mazdaspeed 6, so we had to get a rental. The rental we got was a black 2013 or so suburban. I remember my dad saying how he didn’t like it but he had to get it because it was the only vehicle the rental agency had. And I was in orchestra back then so we had to go get my cello. Needless to say it fit effortlessly and I still felt like I could have a tennis match inside of the suburban. I’ve always loved em and I always will
Chevy suburban: was designed to go off road
Soccer moms: how about no
Soccer moms when they have to park in the gravel parking lot for 1 game: TImE FOr A wAsH!!!
My dad has an 08 LTZ with 200k miles. Completely stock but put that 4WD on and it is a beast off road.
if its called the suburban why is it meant for off-roading
Love my Suburban. Best vehicle/family hauler we’ve ever had.
Do something on the EXCURSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. Now that's one buff a** horse 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
I have a 2002 Suburban Z71 4x4, and it is the absolute best beater of all time. I bought her from the crusher for $175 and all she needed was a trans. $650 later and she is absolutely amazing. She’s taken more abuse than anything else I’ve ever owned, and it is the reason I’m in love with the 99-07 classic trucks. She’s rough, but she’s a beater. She has a 3” lift and some nice meaty tires and she can go absolutely anywhere you what her to and still haul 8 people. It’s incredible. Long live ruby the Burb!
1) Thank you so much for making an up to speed of my favorite vehicle of all time. I grew up in Janesville, WI. My dad’s friends put together the suburban I grew up in and drove through high school. We’ve owned three and now I get to drive UNLs fleet burbs.
2) the Tahoe and Suburban were released at the same time in 2008- perhaps you meant the Tahoe/suburban took cues from the Silverado?
3) the latest gen suburban was out for the 2015 model year- check out 2014 suburbans on the used market

What about a c/k series video.
"TILL THE DAY I DIE" then he got a heart attack and well... he recovered
Fun fact: the Chevrolet Suburban was awarded a Hollywood star for appearing in over 1000+ TV shows and Movies
>talks about how suburban being bulletproof
>talks about how biggie died in one next
bad take
he never stated that all of them were bulletproof smart guy
He should have gone for the bulletproof kit 🤷♂️
Quote “There are stories of dudes taking heavy fire making it out of sticky situations in suburbans riddled with bullet holes.” Biggie may have been shot in one but the driver was unharmed and could have kept going. Lol like where your heads at, but he technically never said they are bullet proof.
Both my dad and my grandfather own a Suburban. My dad's is a 2012 and my Grandpa has the latest version. My grandpa, I'm pretty sure, has owned maybe every version of Suburban since 1995. Living out here in Central PA since then has caused him to crash into several, poor deer, nearly totaling the truck every time. It was the perfect excuse to upgrade to the newest version every year. He inspired my dad to buy his Suburban, like father like son.
My Grandfather had a 1950 and a 1968 GMC Suburban ..... My Father had a 1974 Chevy Suburban as well as a 2007 Suburban .... These things are awesome ..... This video is great .... I used a 2003 Z71 Suburban which was super cool .... Now I have a 2010 LTZ .... The Suburban runs in my family for the longest time ...
Does your dad have the cylinder shutdown delete?
Here (in Paraguay) when Alfredo Stroessner was president (dictator) from 1954 to 1989, during his government the police bought the 6th, 7th, and 8th gen, the name given from the people was Caperucita Roja (like the story of the Little Red Riding Hood) because it was red, and it was also used a lot to kidnap people who were suspected of being against the president or had left-wing thinking and they were taken to a few places to be tortured or made disappear (they killed them), if you ask someone who lived in that era, he will tell you that everyone was afraid if the Caperucita stopped in front of your house or followed you which meant that they were watching and/or chasing you; personally i think it was the best police vehicle we had. And obviously the embassy of United States has an armored fleet!
we had
Glad i stumbled across this as im looking currently to purchasing one 2018 z71 version. For my family of 7.
I spotted the Suburban
Thank you James, very cool

If only that "Midnight Edition" didn't have that embarassing fake chrome
I don't know any vehicle that cost under 100k and has chromium
@@Ckcdillpickle Yes it's very sad. It doesn't look good and it's lying. Truly a mortal sin in car styling. The only thing worse, fake chrome on fake vents.

I like chrome, but real chrome like an American car from the 50s
Can't forget about the dually burbs and diesels
The dually 'Suburban' you see actually wasn't mass produced. It was an option to have the Suburban body placed on a 1-ton chassis for a Silverado. They are extremely rare (the most notable one being used in the movie Twister). But the Suburban diesels were around - albeit they were kind of junky unfortunately. The diesels were ahead of their time, and people didn't know how to maintain them; so they didn't last very long.
@@Big_Buford The specific diesels used in the production models were actually quite obsolete compared to those used by Ford and Dodge. GM didn't have a decent diesel option for their trucks until 2001, which was also when they stopped offering a diesel option for the Suburban.
My grandpa had 85 diesel suburban
@@theunknownone5990 the diesel option when it came out like the Ford 6.9/7.3 was a idi.
@@theunknownone5990 also gm just didnt offer their diesels in the trucks because the only ones that made sense where their experiments with 4 strokes because they weight in at less then gms 3 cylinder diesels while producing more power. Albeit less reliable then gm diesel/detroit/emd options they really where the ones that made sense as they produced them inhouse like all Detroit and emd diesels till they sold them the series 50 and 60 where codesigned by John Deere's so gm had plenty of very good options just you didnt get them below a medium duty because of weight
My dad owns a suburban and he is really happy!
Not only the suburban is a great SUV but also the content is great.
Keep it up :)
4:52
holy crap... are those floating windows?!!?
Ikr
Nice camouflage joke
Lmao
Hands down the burb is the best SUV ever I grew up in a 1991 gmc suburban and my dad still has it.
That’s insane, do u mind if I ask how many miles the thing has?
@@aduptuniform2647 Idk but alot before he bought it. It was used by couple that had a daycare service and they bought it new in 1991 and it was used as a mini school bus most of it's working life. But my geuss of the mileage would be between 250k to 375k miles would be my geuss
We have owned a 1977, 1987, 1998, and 2005. Taken on many camping trips, retreats, and sporting events with our kids. Best family hauler there is.
i had a 1948 chevy suburban in my garage..
Arif Rahman does it give bjs?
Love. My. Suburban. Bess is aging and needs a lot of love, but she gets me where I need to go in relative comfort, including that nasty sand bog in southern Utah she handled like a champ.
No 2006
If you love going to the gas station, a suburban was what you needed.
It's a gas hog in the city yes but it does have a gigantic fuel tank.
You can drive 600 miles on a road trip before you have to fill-er-up. I had a 2015 Suburban that I drove from Philadelphia to Florida. I only had to stop once in Florence, SC for a refill. If it’s just city driving in Philly, you can go 400 miles between fill ups, and it runs on 87 octane.
And if you didn’t realize, suburban was rivaled by one thing, The Ford Excursion witch is being discontinued. And you forgot to add in the Escalade ESV.
