Hi all,
I have not posted here in a while but looking at getting a square body suburban for my next offroad rig so looking for some info. I currently have a 2014 2 Door JK and with an expanding family, I need something bigger. As of now, the 1973–1991 year range of Suburbans are what I am looking at. Looking for a 350 due to having 3 other vehicles with 350's in the stable. The next runner up would be a FSJ Jeep, but it seems that those rose in price seemingly overnight.
Will be doing moderate wheeling on East Coast style trails (for now anyways).
The pros to the Burb's are the solid axles, V8 engine and Size.
Negs for me are Size (in terms of breakover angle) and potential fuel economy (Currently getting 17-18mpg mixed in my JK)
Mainly looking for things to be aware of when looking at these vehicles. Things to look out for, to steer clear of, and some overall negatives about them.
I have attached a picture kind of showing the direction I might want to go.
Thanks in advance!
