i would try to find one with the 5.7 vs the 5.0. the chevy 350 is a very very durable reliable engine and has been around practically forever(yes i know not forever) but remanufactured waterpumps etc etc and parts are very numerous and very cheap. also with the 5.7 i would also recommend the 4l80e vs the 4l60e transmission. i know half ton 2 wheel drive those options (esp w/o a towing package (your more likely to find the 80 tranny in a vheicle w/the towing package)) but there built alot heavier. and anyone who doesnt beleive me tear the 2 down side by side and then well talk. there alot beefier and will stand up longer. a suburban is very reliable. also watch rear ends. you mentioned city driving but also you mentioned hauling kids so im sure you wont go out drag racing. fuel economy wise is you could get the 3.43 or the 3.73 rear end. (im not sure that the 4.10 were offered in the 1/2 tons i know for a fact they were offered in the 2500's not sure about the 1500's. there are alot of alot of suburbans around so heaven forbid but if it gets tangled in an accident parts are fairly widespread and chevy truck bumpers grills etc intterchange between pickups and suburbans. one thing i really liked on my wife who used to have a 93 were the rear barn doors (two doors on the back vs the tail gate personally i liked them. we traded taht in 99 on a dealer demo suburban just to upgrade only real problem we ever had (and it had 240k on it when we gave it away i mean traded it) was the ac compressor. one thing i liked on the 99 is it didnt have the remote entry and it had a unlock by the rear door. wife loved that after putting groceries back there didnt have to unlock front doors. also rear ac is a must .....not a must but a huge advantage
