As most of you know, I'm not a fan of SUVs, so I don't follow them to closely. But there's this one I posted on flickr that I'm really wondering the year of. I know it's somewhere between the mid-80s and early-90s, but that's about it.

It's a Lansing police car, an Underwater Rescue Unit. It doesn't see much action as you can imagine so that's why it's still around and running in good condition.

Anyway, what's the year?

GMC Suburban Sierra Classic K-25 (4wd ¾ ton)

Grille work was used from 1985 to 1988 (model years) Newer models got De-chromed windshield trim, which means this one is likely a 1987 or 1988 model. 1987 was the first year for TBFI (Throttle Body Fuel Injection) also sometimes just referred to as TBI.

Ones equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, came with Class IV Weight Distributing hitches, Transmission Oil Coolers and Trailer light wiring.

Thanks for the info. Safe to say it's an '87 then. :wink:
