I am mainly a Ford guy too, but I have always liked Suburbans. I assume it's still the old body style, if so heck yeah I'd buy it. Suburbans if they are set up right can 4 wheel as good as anything else. I know they're heavy as heck, I'v pulled a few of them out of the 2-tracks that were stuck pretty bad. Had the ol 300 gruntin a bit gettin em out ! You can't go wrong with a throttle body injected 350, awesome motors they're strong and they run for a long time. My buddy's dad has an old Shivy 1/2 4wd with a TBI 350 that has nearly a half a million miles on it she's gettin pretty tired but still runs decent...on it's 3rd or 4th tranny though, damn 700R4s!
