Vehicle Description
Classic style, full utility, and plenty of comforts come together
in this 1988 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado. After all, you get a
three-row SUV with everything from a 4x4 drivetrain to an A/C
interior. So when this much appeal is also so affordable, it's time
to pay attention.
Bright red paint and a tasteful white two-tone perfectly represents
this top-of-the-line Silverado trim on this Suburban. In fact,
since we love these today just as much for their classic appeal as
their utility, it's great to see this one looking so attractive
from a later respray. The panels are also correct and quite nice,
and so there is a very adhortative look with the well-creased lines
of this large and lifted SUV. We also like how this one is
attractive while still also being useful. You see it in the way the
bumpers, grill, and trim are attractive and complete, but no one
will purely accuse this of being a trailer queen. Instead, the tow
mirrors and proper rear hitch mean this is the one that trailers
the trailer queens. And everything from the large roof rack to the
fold-down tailgate means this classic Suburban remains a solid
adventurer.
The interior is all about versatility and long-haul comfort. That's
why you have three rows of comfy velour seating and there's still
room left in the back for everyone's gear. And have you noticed the
front seat? We don't see the bench front too often, and it means
you have an impressive nine-person configuration! The upholstery,
carpets, door panels, and dash pad seem to be all vintage 1988, and
they still remain both useful and attractive. This high-end
Suburban came with a long list of options including power locks, a
rear defogger, and power windows (including the rear one that gives
you the ideal place for tailgating.) Plus, the factory air
conditioning has even been converted to R134a for easy servicing.
Currently the front blows colder than the rear A/C. This feels like
a comfortable driver thanks to a wraparound gauge panel, a tilt
steering column, and cruise control.
With a Suburban that has been so well-maintained thus far, it's no
surprise to lift the hood and see the 350 cubic-inch V8 looking
stock and tidy. This is from the era of factory fuel injection, and
so it fires up easily and runs well like a well-maintained FI
machine should. This has a five-digit odometer, and it's unknown if
it reflects the vehicle's actual mileage. But the solid feeling
here tells you this has been well-maintained. There's a two-speed
transfer case to choose the right kind of off-road work, and newer
General Grabber AT2 tires assure that you can keep going even when
the pavement ends. This Suburban is also good for long trips with
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed
automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.
This is a useful classic that can be the most interesting vehicle
everywhere from the campsite to the boat ramp. It's the vintage 4x4
that lets you spend more time with your family and friends, and all
for an unbeatable price. Call today!!!
