Tahoe to a Suburban 2500 - would you step up?

How are you searching for the 8.1s on there or you just looking at all the 2500s

What about this one? Seems like a steal at 4k if the mileage is not going to be an issue https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=forSaleTab_false_0&formSourceTag=112&newSearchFromOverviewPage=true&inventorySearchWidgetType=AUTO&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=c879&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity2=c3768&zip=27539&distance=50000&searchChanged=true&modelChanged=true&filtersModified=true&sortType=undefined&sortDirection=undefined#listing=174631827

The problem with the Suburban is that you can't get it with the Duramax and the Allison. :)

That one looks good too! I haven't been looking at the Yukon version much, so that's why I missed it. Its pushing my budget and I'm not sure I have the time to travel just yet. Probably have to give myself a few more weeks before I convince myself I need one badly.

You can, just not from the factory. There are usually a couple on craigslist whenever I look. Generally in the 16-20k range. There are always a few in the 25-35k range too, but this is GRM so we ignore those.

Yeah I'm just not a fan of the front end either. Looks like a E36 M3tier escalade even though it kind of is.

Well, to add to the odd cars you find on Facebook marketplace...

I found a Suburban 2500 Quadrasteer with no motor. Seller is parting it out, so I'm inquiring about the rest of the truck. I'll throw in a junkyard motor no problem. Edit: Nevermind, seller won't sell whole. Dean if you're still following, this could be a parts truck for your QS gear!

Also found another Suburban 2500 with 260k for $2k. Also interested in what the condition of it is.

Now I gotta expand the search for Yukons. I always forget about them, plus the numbers are lower than the Chevy equivalent

Yeah I don't care which one I would look at. I don't mind the GM front end vs the Chevy.

I think going on the cheapside might be easier than a nicer newer one, if a nicer newer one wife would want to replace the minivan with it and thats less interesting from a mpg standpoint
