Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Parent context: I was going to say that too. Where's the Suburban? Those things are great. Reply: I mean that's just a Tahoe stretched an additional 15".
  • Where's the Suburban? Those things are great.
  • The Tahoe or Suburban is the best possible vehicle to car camp. You get 4x4 and plenty of interior room. Nothing else can match it for those 2 categories.
  • I think you need to add in the full size Suburban and Expedition.
  • If you need three rows to haul real people and stuff, Expedition EL or Suburban.

Cons

  • Those late models Suburbans are pretty hit/miss. From transmission issues to vibrating driveshafts. There’s more technology on board with the engines as well like Active Fuel Management. It’s more complicated and there’s more to go wrong...
  • Sure, an old Suburban or Expedition could do it as well, but you'd probably pay more for those.
  • Hates the way our Suburban take city potholes.
  • To me, for a family hauler, it makes absolutely no sense to get one of those over a mini van for the following reasons: ... Vans are significantly cheaper, to the tune of $20-$30k for comparable trims/years/mileage
  • I don't love the idea of driving something as large as a Suburban

Those late models Suburbans are pretty hit/miss. From transmission issues to vibrating driveshafts. There’s more technology on board with the engines as well like Active Fuel Management. It’s more complicated and there’s more to go wrong basically with the late model Suburbans.

if I had to choose today based on "Roomier, as much room as we can get" I would buy a Suburban ;-)

Parent context: Haha minivan is OUT of the question!! Hubby is a hard no and I could care less. I’d be more into getting a suburban vs a van Reply: I’d be more into getting a suburban vs a van
