I was of course baffled--as most people on this board would be--because it was a suburban or nothing for me. I don't know how this line of thinking applies in the open market for trucks. Probably not to well, I would think.
If I had a dollar for every time a restoration shop spoke to me like that while I was neck deep in my restoration project, I'd be a rich man by now.

My opinion of vendors that talk like that don't deserve my business, and speaks volumes to me about what they can actually do for me - Nothing...

It takes extra commitment to restore a Suburban, and when you are done that will show in the finished product.
