I am looking at purchasing this vehicle....does anyone know what I should be looking for in this type of vehicle....it does have the third row seat, towpackage and 5.3L SFI. Any reliablity issues that some may be aware of...it does have a clean carfax and existing warranty and about 86K on the odo.

How about a GMVIS report?

Those things are pretty much bulletproof.

I had a 2004 & a 2005 Suburban. I never had any problems with them but they can definitely use a brake upgrade.

We got a new buddy for the Marauder. We went and picked it up in Houston with the help of Wes who gave us his thumbs up on it. Wes found this vehicle for us, went and looked at it and even test drove it for us....the dealership took it off the lot on Wednesday and we picked it up on Saturday. After all the paperwork was signed, Wes then took out my whole family for dinner....and thats no small task, since there is 6 of us total. We were in desperate need of a larger vehicle since there are so many of us and the Marauder is just racking up the miles and the kids are not to easy on her. Her Impala needs some work, so we have to take it off the road for a little while. Here are some pics of the Truck:

Thanks Wes for all your help.

Congrats! I have a 2003 3/4 ton Suburban LT with 52k no problems. Only swapped out battery and tires (wanted the BFGs for looks:). Very reliable like everyone says the 5.3 is rock solid and has good power.

Thanks guys.....now like you said Jim, I can trailer the Marauder.....

So now what type or kind of trailer do I need to look for that will haul the Marauder. The towing package I have includes a uhaul brake booster/assist for the trailer. The only experience I have with trailers is pulling and parking them, not buying them.
