    Please school me on Suburban

    I showed this 2002 to my wife and to my surprise she said it look nice. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/edmonton/2002-chevrolet-suburban-lt-loaded-8-passenger-sale-or-trade/1286306464?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

    Please school me on Suburban

    I saw a 2009 one at 9800 and now it's gone, the other are around 15,000k and a bit more. I'm not in a hurry to buy right now so maybe I will get lucky and find a good one. What if a 2007-08 with over 100,000 miles doesn't have the oil problem? Could we say it's ''safe'' past a certain mileage...

    The affordable ones are all over 200,000 miles, can I expect a good 5 years out of them provided they had a clean record and I do regular maintenance on them? Looking at other forums it seems a couple people feel the build quality of the GMT 800 is superior to the GMT 900?

    So is the 6 speed overrated? What kind of fuel range do you guys get on the highway/city? I suppose they all have a 120L tank?

    That's good to know about AFM and the introduction of the 6 speed. Not sure I'd go with the older one with the 4 speed and torsion bars sounds like it gives a pretty harsh ride. How bad is oil burning for the 2007-08? If I just need to add like $20 of oil between oil change I could live with...

    So what's the main difference between the GMT 800 and 900? Did they changed more than the body? 2007 and older might turn off my wife but I'll check them out. I've seen two 2009 in the 10k range on kijiji and one sold fast. Some people are desperate to sell here in Alberta since the oil price...

    Please school me on Suburban

    Hey all, Wife and I are planning on having a 4th child so obviously I'll need a bigger vehicle. I'm pretty much set on suburbans, they seem reliable and have the most room you could get vs the competition. I'm looking at years 2009 - 2012 because my budget is under 10k. Is there anything to...

    Anyone put BF Goodrich KO2s on their late model Forester? If so, please comment.

    Just some food for thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5li2wSbjzyc

    Help me build my rig to drive around the world!

    Damn sorry, that really flew over my head... It depends. The ironman springs are very stiff, my rear doesn't compress (more or less half an inch) when I jack it up from the lower arm. I like it because it doesn't sag when I tow and I do not bottom down on uneven terrain. The struts are also...

    Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

    Ok, but if you could would you run LTs on your Subaru? Edit: I just saw a video from you on youtube and your said you blew 3 AT3s. Maybe getting an LT wouldn't be a bad choice after all?

    It's always good to hear people's first hand experience. The CJ is what, 2660lbs? (google says a CJ5 is that weight) were you running coils or leaf spring on your CJ?

    Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

    One thing I was told also (and it makes sense to me) is an LT is a lot less flexible and a light rig might not put down enough weight on it, so the contact patch will be smaller. This would result in a loss of traction vs a more flexible tire. That's why a lot of mud tire comes in C load and...

    Wagonofdoom - 2015 Outback build

    I'm leaning for a P extra load, but I'm still curious. Everybody I've talked to in alberta so far tells me to go LT for hunting, but ''everybody'' also drive a 1/2 ton or a 3/4 ton trucks, not a 3500 lbs vehicle. I asked here since the forester/outback is the closest popular vehicle to mine.

    You could run 225/75r16 which has plenty of choice in LTs.

    I'm curious, does anybody runs LT on their Subaru?

    Hey I wonder, do you run P rated or LT tires on your Subaru?

    '11 Suzuki SX4 AWD

    Yeah. Nobody else was making a 4wd making over 20MPG in the early 2000s. If Suzuki was better at marketing (or could market at all) they would be in the same boat as Toyota and Honda imo.
