This behemoth full-size, body-on-frame white SUV continues to offer three rows, seating for up to eight passengers, and towing capacity aplenty. An abridged version of the ‘Burban, the slightly shorter Tahoe, is reviewed separately. A 355-hp V-8 is standard, while an optional 277-hp inline-six turbodiesel and a 420-hp gas V-8 are available. All engines are lashed to a telepathic 10-speed automatic transmission and can be equipped with either rear- or four-wheel-drive—except for the four-wheel-drive-only off-road-focused Z71 trim. Suburban cargo space is massive, with a 20 cubic foot over the Jeep Wagoneer advantage with their third rows folded. An available air suspension allows the Suburban to comfortably roll with the pavement’s punches. The interior styling and materials are ho-hum, but at least the 10.2-inch touchscreen handles climate and navigation with speed and clarity.

Rear-wheel-drive Chevy Suburbans fitted with the 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8 tow the most—8,300 pounds—when optioned with the available Max Trailering package. The four-wheel-drive diesel Suburban has the lowest amount of max towing, with a capacity of 7,800 pounds.

Compared with its predecessor, the Suburban’s cargo and passenger space are both notably larger. Its second and third rows have a couple more inches of legroom, and the second-row seats can slide fore and aft. The Suburban’s cargo area also expands by 23 cubic feet (145 total); the load floor is flatter and lower, courtesy of the Suburban’s independent rear suspension.
