Amazing condition and reliability! Super clean! An award-winning show stopper!
This vehicle was built to be driven, with the desire for a classic look and the need for modern reliability and performance.
Our purpose in building this vehicle was to have the ability to cross-country travel, tow a trailer, camp from the car, and have decent fuel mileage without having to settle for a mundane truck/SUV or a euro-based work van. Since building this Suburban, we have enjoyed over 31,000 miles in 4 years. This Suburban has allowed us to travel and still pull a trailer (getting 16-18mpg at 65-70mph), with the third row removed and the second row folded there is plenty of space to sleep and bring our bags. Without a trailer, we have been averaging mid to low 20's cruising at 68-72mph. The Suburban was originally purchased in New Mexico and without a drive line. It received a frame-off restoration, with a drop-out 2015 GM drive line leaving as much of the power train as stock as possible to preserve reliability, while upgrading the chassis and interior at the same time.

-The main body is painted GM 2001 sunset orange metallic.
