Pre 1994. Mainly because of research(and a thread on here) it seems that 1994 and before are the best years for reliability for Suburban. Plus I try to stay away from newer model vehicles anyway.
Suburbans have always been reliable work horses whether 1994, 2004 or 2014.....92 was a major body change year but honestly you are going to have a hard time finding a low mileage decent one as most are driven daily by parents, then given to the kids when they start driving!
My sister has a 2012 that has 80K miles on it now. It is ridiculously clean inside/out but the odometer has gotten a solid workout!
Similarities . . . other than Styling, Visual and possibly a few options, VERY FEW.
Way back in 1987 I purchased a Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Pick-Up and the Dealer Brochure for the Chevy Truck clearly made reference to a "near identical" version available as a GMC Pick-Up.
A real, one piece solid bench seat? I don't think so, unless you find a government fleet model with the cheapest interior possible. They did have a 60/40 split bench seat with a wide arm rest in the middle that flipped up so 3 can sit in front. That's how my 96 Silverado is configured.

Oh how I miss cars with split bench eats like that.

Well... That's probably what I meant, then.
One where the center arm rests can flip up, and there isn't anything against your right leg.
It sounds like what you described.
What trim do you have? And is it the push-button 4WD?

That specific photo isn't mine, just one online. My 96 has the same seats, but in gray. That one is probably either a 2wd or has the push button, you'd see the floor lever on the top left side of the transmission hump. On trucks with the lever it's there but no where near obtrusive enough to hit my leg on.
Lots of leg room, I'm 6' 2" and can stretch my legs out under the dash, watching out for the pedals of course.
Many people say the lever is more reliable than the push button, I've had 5 full size chevys, 2 with the lever 3 with the button and the only problem engaging 4wd I've ever had was on a 94 with the lever, very minor, the actuator broke and wouldn't engage it, it was probably 15 years old at the time and hasn't had a problem since it was fixed. I like the lever better, I just like pulling the lever for 4wd but I don't think either is more reliable than the other.
