Default military and state vehicle info

has anyone here ever picked up a old state or military vehicle? I found a place that has quite a few of them...found a 2000 suburban 64k miles, clean, no rust...4x4, undercarriage is clean, winch thats never been used, great running truck but i'm worried about the gearing of the thing. I know the CUC V's are geared super low and im wondering if this would be the same way? Its a gas motor, 454. I know this thing would tow anything anywhere and would probably go through anything...but will it run 75-80 down the interstate? lol.

not sure about the gear though it's probably low. Any way you can see who used it? The vehicles we use on the flightline get the **** beat out of them...short trips, on/off, stop and go. Alot of the flightline vehicles are governed as well.

to my knowledge, it was a state vehicle. Around this area we have a huge national forest. I would assume its from that. It looks identical to the trucks that sit out front of their office.

I cant find ---- about the suburbans. I cant even find anything about a 454 suburban in 2000. Must be something to do with the special order?
