1987 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado 5.0L V8 from North America
Summary:
People Mover with Comfort and Space
Faults:
Brakes - front disc, rear drum replaced just about every year.
One time items: main gasket seal (oil leak and smoking), rear window smashed out on New Years, Radiator, Left Manifold gasket, speedometer, gas tank, fuel pump.
General Comments:
At one time I averaged 18 mpg the highway - mostly down hill.
I was the 2nd owner and now sold, its being use to haul a stock car.
Family liked it for most of the 8 years. But it was a money pit.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The guy who got 34 MPG must be on a mo-pod, not a 1987 Suburban with a 454ci V8 that can tow anything and take 8 people along.
