4.23 -> SPEAKER: If you regularly need to haul a family,

7.08 -> a bunch of stuff, and--

8.34 -> I don't know-- a boat or two, the Chevy Suburban

10.8 -> has long been your vehicle of choice.

13.14 -> And it's been redesigned for 2021,

15.93 -> and now it has more of everything--

17.79 -> more space, more power, more capability, more cargo

20.79 -> capacity, and on, and on.

22.92 -> And it's actually a bit nicer to drive too thanks

25.41 -> to some fundamental changes happening underneath.

28.08 -> I actually happen to like it quite a bit

30.62 -> In this video, we're going to explain why and everything

33.06 -> you need to know about the Suburban,

34.95 -> and click the links below to see more of what we have going on

37.83 -> over at Edmunds, including a full review of this vehicle.

40.92 -> Also check back later for a video review of the Chevy Tahoe

43.59 -> as well.

44.14 -> But let's stick to this for the time being.

46.92 -> The suburban comes in six different trim levels

49.5 -> from the base LS to the offroad inspired Z71

53.01 -> to this, the High Country.

55.71 -> Prices range from about $50,000 to about $75,000.

59.92 -> This High Country with all the options it has equipped

62.22 -> is just over $80,000.

64.95 -> Now when it comes to the changes on the outside,

67.47 -> you really can't see a lot because the changes aren't

70.47 -> that dramatic.

71.13 -> Overall length is like within an inch

73.68 -> of the previous generation, but the wheel base

75.66 -> has been enlarged.

77.04 -> The wheel is the distance between the front axle

79.2 -> and the rear axle.

80.25 -> And by making that longer, Chevy's

82.29 -> been able to increase the interior space overall

84.84 -> for passengers and cargo.

86.1 -> The other change is something you can't really

88.02 -> see unless you stick your head underneath,

89.31 -> and that's Chevy's changed from a solid rear

91.41 -> axle to an independent rear suspension.

93.26 -> We'll talk about what that is and why it affects the driving

95.76 -> experience.

96.26 -> But for the time being, just know

97.86 -> it's a more compact suspension setup that

100.08 -> allows the floor to be a bit lower to also give you

102.72 -> more space.

104.1 -> How much space?

105.03 -> Try 145-cubic feet with the second and third row folded.

110.4 -> I've left the driver's side up and the second row

112.56 -> just like you get a picture of how much space you're

114.3 -> working with.

114.87 -> It's massive.

115.8 -> And even if you drive around in a more common configuration

118.38 -> where the third row's folded but the second row is lifted up,

121.05 -> you still have 94-cubic feet of cargo space.

124.77 -> Not only is that more than the Expedition

126.75 -> Max in a similar configuration, it's

128.25 -> so much that it's actually kind of hard to picture.

130.45 -> So just for the sake of illustration,

132.21 -> that's 2 and 1/2 times as much as you

134.04 -> would get in a Honda CRV.

135.44 -> Yeah, it's a smaller vehicle and a much less expensive vehicle,

138.06 -> but it's a much more common one so just

139.74 -> to give you a reference of how much space you're actually

142.11 -> working with.

142.89 -> Now when you lift up the third row.

144.53 ->

147.11 -> Sometimes they take a little bit to respond.

148.94 -> Although, I do like the fact that they're power controlled.

151.4 -> You still have 42-cubic feet of space, and that is massive.

155.36 -> I like all the power controls on this too.

158.79 -> Power folding tailgates are cool,

160.16 -> but every SUV these days has those.

162.43 -> What every SUV doesn't have, though,

164.42 -> is the pop-out rear glass, which has already

166.58 -> popped because I've done this take a couple of times.

169.22 -> What's cool about this space though is that if you've

171.53 -> got a big dog like I do you, you pretty much

173.81 -> already know why this is cool.

175.28 -> But going further on down here, when you get the advanced

178.22 -> trailer tow package, you get a pretty nice setup

181.19 -> behind this little plastic piece,

183.14 -> which is cool if you want to cover this stuff up.

186.97 -> There we go.

188.48 -> Here are your trailer hookups nice and cleanly integrated.

191.06 -> You also get a trailer break controller.

192.8 -> And max tow capability for the Suburban

195.74 -> as it sits right now with a 6.2 liter V8

197.66 -> and so on, you can get up to 8,300 pounds.

200.19 -> But, of course, getting that figure

201.65 -> requires specific options and configurations,

204.53 -> and it can be a little confusing how to track down what's

206.9 -> applicable to your vehicle.

208.36 -> What's nice, though, with this Suburban, and the Tahoe,

210.65 -> and a couple others like the Silverado and such,

212.72 -> Chevy now has a sticker on the doorjamb that

214.76 -> tells you the specific towing and payload rating

217.31 -> for your specific vehicle as it's equipped.

220.01 -> That's really cool so are quad tailpipes, which you only

222.95 -> get with the 6.2 liter V8.

224.57 ->

228.6 -> When you get inside the Suburban,

230.1 -> there is a lot to look at and a lot to talk about.

233.17 -> So brace yourselves, right?

235.47 -> The general look and feel of the High Country is quite nice,

238.63 -> I got to say, especially for the money

240.21 -> that they're asking for the High Country trim level.

242.97 -> I got to say.

243.51 -> I drove a Z71 earlier this week, though,

246.03 -> and the interior look and feel was just not as nice

250.29 -> as this obviously, but it did cost quite a bit.

253.56 -> So I have to say the interior quality

255.57 -> and appearance is nicer than what you'd find in a Silverado.

258.39 -> But if you're truly looking for that like upscale experience,

261.13 -> you have to wait for the Escalade and GMC Yukon Denali.

263.84 -> What we see here, though, in the High Country

265.71 -> is quite nice and especially with regard to usability.

269.93 -> There's, again, a lot of details to talk about.

272.07 -> The first thing you might notice when you hop in

274.07 -> is this center infotainment touchscreen display.

277.11 -> It's 10 inches, and the placement and functionality

279.39 -> works really well.

280.26 -> It's actually kind of deceiving how big the screen is.

282.27 -> You don't really notice that until you

283.85 -> use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto,

285.69 -> and then those screens look really, really nice

287.76 -> on this display.

288.84 -> Now both of those phone projection systems

290.88 -> work wirelessly or wired.

292.86 -> You can use either one.

294.37 -> You also have wireless charging down here as well.

296.79 -> I got a call that my colleague, Mark Takahashi,

299.43 -> when using wireless or Apple CarPlay

301.32 -> had a couple of audio issues.

303.06 -> I didn't experience those, but we got call them out.

306.22 -> Now to the right of that, you have this little storage cubby

308.97 -> here, which is interesting because it's kind of deep.

311.72 -> And I was wondering what you could put in there until I

314.01 -> put a candy bar in there.

315.73 -> And then I realized, oh, that's a pretty good place

317.85 -> to store candy bars, or skittles, or what have you.

321.33 -> To the left of that is the shifter,

323.28 -> and the shifter design is unique,

326.61 -> I think we should state.

328.41 -> Because it looks like it's a push button solution,

331.02 -> but it's not.

331.56 -> You push Park for park.

332.94 -> You push Neutral for neutral.

334.15 -> But if you want drive or reverse,

335.55 -> you lift up on those toggle switches.

338.19 -> We'll talk more about how that works while we drive it.

340.68 -> For the time being, I'll just say it takes a little bit

343.38 -> to get used to.

344.58 -> Now directly in front of you, you have analog gauges and then

347.82 -> a digital screen in between that's

350.52 -> really crisp and easy to read.

351.98 -> And then you have a massive head-up display on the High

354.27 -> Country that's really nice.

356.8 -> I wonder if it's too big, but I really

359.49 -> like it for the brief time that I've had driving this car.

363.18 -> Moving down the center stack, I like

365.22 -> the use of buttons and knobs.

368.16 -> This is really easy to use, really simple,

370.53 -> really intuitive.

371.56 -> There's not a lot of fussing around

373.02 -> that you've got to do with the center stack.

375.84 -> Now, when it comes to center console storage,

377.82 -> you may sit here and think like, wow, OK, you

379.8 -> got cup holders, cup holders, and then you've

381.75 -> got this storage bin.

384 -> Is that it?

384.99 -> No, that's not it because the center console can slide back.

388.89 ->

391.43 -> I got to say, the first time I saw

392.85 -> that I was kind of blown away because that's really cool.

396.66 -> This isn't going to be on all Suburbans and Tahoes,

399.15 -> but it's optional.

400.33 -> I think it's worth getting, though, just by looking at it.

402.75 -> Because not only do you now have this massive area for bags

406.32 -> or other stuff, you also have a drawer here you can open up.

409.23 -> And then you still have access to this storage area

411.45 -> too, which is really large.

413.28 -> Not only that, but the back seat passenger-- the second row

416.58 -> passengers now have access to these cup holders as well.

419.25 -> So a really cool setup which segues

421.8 -> into where do you put Arnie?

426.58 -> Where do you contain Arnie?

427.75 -> And there's frankly no shortage of places to put him.

430.79 -> You have the wireless charging pad here.

432.46 -> You have the cup holders here.

433.48 -> You have this big place here for Arnie to play in.

435.56 -> You can stow him away there were no one can find him.

438.85 -> You've got this massive area here.

440.89 -> You've got this place here.

442.66 -> You've got these little spots on the side of the transmission

445.57 -> tunnel to take him.

446.68 -> And not only that, but also on the doors--

448.84 -> on both driver and passenger front doors

451.15 -> you have cubbies at the bottom.

453.01 -> But you also have this elevated area here

454.84 -> for phone storage as well.

455.92 -> There's no shortage of places for Arnie to hide in.

460.75 -> Also connectivity-- upfront you have a 12-volt outlet, a USB-C,

465.88 -> and then a traditional older style USB port.

468.55 -> And that's it for the front seats.

471.42 -> As we get to the second row, let's

472.84 -> talk about how the second row seat operates.

475.14 -> There's a couple of neat things about these seats.

477.22 -> One is they can slide forward and back,

478.85 -> so you can control the amount of legroom

480.52 -> that the second row has, also the amount of space

482.56 -> you have available to the third row.

484.54 -> When you fold the seats flat, they actually

486.7 -> lower a little bit.

487.69 -> So that way when you fold the third row

489.31 -> you actually have a flat load floor, and that's really neat.

492.85 -> And when they flip up, you have a ton of space

496.3 -> to access the third row.

497.78 -> These are, of course, the captain's chairs.

499.57 -> You can get this with a bench in the second row,

501.85 -> but this is what we have for the purposes of reviewing.

504.9 -> I'll call out that putting the seat back

507.91 -> in place, especially folding it back up,

509.74 -> does require a bit of muscle.

512.01 -> So just be aware of that.

514.48 -> As we hop inside, you'll notice that of course there

517.57 -> isn't storage here because there's

519.1 -> no center console here because there's

520.68 -> a wide open pass through.

522.07 -> But there is a ton of space in the second row.

525.53 -> And then you also get the sliding center

528.25 -> console in the front row so you can have more access to stuff

531.85 -> to put things.

533.11 -> Connectivity's really strong because this High Country

536.74 -> has the optional second row seat entertainment package, which

539.92 -> adds these massive tablets that are really

543.01 -> clean and easy to read.

544.06 -> They're also adjustable to like that.

546.19 -> And their inputs are really neat because you

548.02 -> have two HDMI ports, two use USB-C ports, and then one

551.92 -> 110-volt outlet.

553.78 -> That means you can bring in your devices

555.55 -> so your kids can bring their Nintendo Switch, for example,

557.77 -> and get their "Animal Crossing" on while they're

559.63 -> in the second row while you guys are going on your road trip.

562.24 -> I like that a lot.

563.23 -> Just be aware that there's no traditional older

566.47 -> style USB ports.

567.91 -> So if you have an older phone or device,

570.04 -> you'll need to get an adapter of some kind.

572.56 -> And also the rear doors back here

575.17 -> have a similar neat storage solution

577.02 -> as the front doors where you have the traditional cubby

579.31 -> at the bottom, and then you also have

580.85 -> another cubby right above that.

582.46 -> And take a look at how big that sunroof is.

585.73 -> Nice.

587.05 -> To show off the third row, I got to get back in there.

589.3 -> So I'm going slide this second row

592.06 -> seat back as far as possible and sort of

594.55 -> squirm my way back here.

596.53 -> Now, I'm about 5' 10" and 185 pounds, and I

599.86 -> have a ton of space back here.

602.29 -> My knees just barely touch the second row,

604.67 -> which is slid all the way back.

606.19 -> And I have a ton of headroom here.

607.96 -> Chevy's been clever and cut out a bunch of space in the roof

611.38 -> so taller folks can sit back here.

613.06 -> And the seats are not fantastic, but they are workable.

615.99 -> Now in terms of interior storage in the third row,

618.07 -> I've got space for Arnie-- very important--

620.26 -> a smaller cup holder right here, and then a USB-C port

623.24 -> right there.

623.74 -> And that's the same on both sides.

626.11 -> This is a pretty large space back here

629.62 -> for a full-size adult, although you'd probably

632.37 -> put kids back here.

633.16 -> It's nice to know you have this option

634.42 -> to transport larger people should you have the need.

636.83 -> And when it comes to getting out,

637.87 -> you don't need to wait for mom.

639.22 -> You've got a button that'll drop the seat and lift it up.

646.21 -> How cool is that?

648.79 -> When it comes to engines and transmissions,

650.85 -> the Suburban is, no surprise, very similar to the Chevy

653.44 -> Silverado.

654.4 -> The top dog is the 6.2-liter V8 that you can only get

658.33 -> in the High Country.

659.2 -> It's got 420 horsepower, and you can only

661.78 -> get it in the High Country for reasons.

665.68 -> It's the one I want in every other trim level.

667.7 -> But hey, it is what it is.

670 -> That's got a 10-speed automatic like every other engine

672.64 -> that you can get with the Suburban.

674.35 -> Speaking of, the Suburban will come with a 3-liter turbo

678.4 -> diesel straight six.

679.39 -> That'll be available later.

680.53 -> Chevy says Q4 of 2020.

682.44 -> And that'll be nice because it's got a ton of work.

684.56 -> I want to say like 460-pound-feet.

686.26 -> And it also means it'll have a higher tow rating most likely,

690.1 -> and you won't have to stop that often for fuel.

692.8 -> You get a ton of range out of a tank of diesel,

695.14 -> which is really neat.

696.35 -> Now most Suburbans will be powered by a 5.3-liter V8.

700.77 -> That'll be the most common engine

702.34 -> because it's in most trim levels.

704.2 -> That has 355 horsepower.

706.57 -> And though adequate, it's not as fun

708.4 -> to brag about because the twin turbo V6 in the Ford Expedition

712.18 -> does make more power, though, I think.

713.92 -> Most people get along just fine with that V8.

716.38 -> As for fuel economy, the 5.3-liter V8 has 18 MPG

721.27 -> combined from the EPA.

722.82 -> The 6.2 has 17 MPG combined, and adding 4-wheel drive

726.27 -> to either engine drops your average combined MPG one.

731.22 -> I can't believe I remembered all that.

732.8 -> [ENGINE REVVING]

735.63 ->

738.93 -> 6.2-liter V8 goes good, sounds good.

742.2 -> So when we talk about driving the Chevy Suburban,

745.23 -> there's no getting around the sheer size of this thing.

747.72 -> This is a massive vehicle, and you're never

750.19 -> going to be able to hide that.

751.44 -> But what you can do is you can make a vehicle

753.93 -> this big easy enough to drive, manageable enough

757.35 -> to drive through city streets like Los Angeles,

759.57 -> for example, where I've been driving this for a while.

762.47 -> Now there's a couple ways that Chevy's been able to do that.

764.97 -> The biggest change, of course, from this generation

767.38 -> is the independent rear suspension.

768.84 -> But when you combine that, as Chevy has,

770.79 -> with air suspension and MagneRide,

772.99 -> it makes things even nicer.

774.18 -> Now what are those things?

775.54 -> Well, the air suspension are air springs essentially.

778.38 -> And the MagneRide you've probably

780.03 -> heard when talking about performance cars before.

782.61 -> But really what it is a type of adaptive suspension damper

785.85 -> or shock that uses a magnetically reactive fluid,

790.11 -> and it's able to change the viscosity of that fluid through

793.14 -> magnetism-- through the magic of magnets--

795.66 -> to adjust the damping characteristics.

797.97 -> Now, that's a really long-winded way

799.89 -> of saying it's an adaptive damper that reacts really

802.59 -> quickly.

803.22 -> And combined with an air spring, you

805.05 -> have a suspension that's able to read road conditions

807.51 -> and adjust based on the speed that you're going

810.63 -> and the type of driving that you're kind of driving,

814.23 -> if that makes sense So your suspension's able of lowering

818.28 -> a couple of inches at freeway speeds to help fuel economy

821.04 -> or when you're parked to make it easier to get in and out.

823.55 -> And it's also able to rise up when you have it

825.78 -> in like 4-wheel drive low with the 4-wheel drive models

828.88 -> to give you additional ground clearance.

831.15 -> That air suspension's also capable of adjusting

834.72 -> for load leveling.

835.5 -> So it can always make sure that the vehicle's riding flat

837.88 -> whether you're towing, or you've got load distributed inside.

840.95 -> It's all really nice stuff.

842.34 -> Now on top of that, Chevy's dialed in some really nice

847.61 -> steering into the Suburban.

849.29 -> I drove this High Country, and I drove a Z71.

851.76 -> And I was actually pretty impressed

853.22 -> by the steering assistance-- the resistance

855.65 -> and the feedback coming from the rest of the car.

857.69 -> It makes a vehicle--

858.83 -> again, of this size--

860.33 -> really easy to place within its lane.

862.88 -> That's all nice stuff.

864.53 -> When it comes to engines and transmissions,

866.45 -> when you have a 10-speed automatic,

868.94 -> it kind of doesn't matter which engine

870.52 -> you have attached to it because the gears are so narrow.

872.86 -> It's going to make use of that power when you step on the gas.

875.54 -> The 5.3-liter V8 that I experienced in the Z71 trim

879.5 -> level Suburban was totally fine.

881.57 -> When it comes to the 6.2, that additional power is noticeable.

885.2 -> It's really nice when you nail the gas

886.85 -> and you can feel that resulting acceleration.

888.87 -> Let's do it right now.

889.79 -> [ENGINE REVVING]

890.94 ->

891.44 -> That's good.

892.64 -> And yes, it's more of a bragging right to have.

894.6 -> But man, I kind of like big V8s, and I like the bragging rights

897.32 -> that come with them.

898.15 -> I wish it was available on the lower trim levels.

901.34 -> Now, the V8 in the Suburbans have a wide range

907.31 -> of cylinder deactivation.

909.17 -> They can selectively shut down cylinders

911.6 -> to save fuel economy much like they can with the Silverado,

915.17 -> all the way down to none of them running when you're at a stop.

917.9 -> Now during normal driving on the freeway through the city

920.61 -> commute, you don't even notice when this is happening.

922.86 -> I can't tell.

923.84 -> The only time you can really notice the system at work

926.36 -> is when you stop at a light and the engine shuts off.

928.76 -> That's pretty subtle.

929.63 -> But when the engine turns back on when

931.1 -> you come off the brake pedal, it's a little noticeable.

933.39 -> I sometimes turn it off because that little shutter

936.65 -> can be a little undesirable.

938.39 -> So depending on how sensitive you are to fuel economy,

941.27 -> your mileage may vary.

944.39 -> With a vehicle this big, again, we

945.92 -> keep coming back to one of the biggest features you

948.71 -> can think of is driving aids--

952.72 -> adaptive driving aides, for example.

954.23 -> And there's no shortage of them.

956.18 -> And the most crucial in this High Country

958.91 -> is the exterior camera system.

960.89 -> It's extremely extensive.

963.15 -> There's multiple angles that show you basically every side

967.07 -> and view of this vehicle that you

969.11 -> would want to see when navigating

971.06 -> in and out of a parking spot like your garage

973.4 -> or when you're parallel parking.

974.87 -> It really takes the guesswork out of that,

976.62 -> and that's important because from my seating position,

978.93 -> which is low admittedly--

980.42 -> I like sitting low--

982.19 -> that helps me take care of my blind spots.

983.99 -> You can almost drive this thing at low speeds through a parking

986.63 -> lot-- almost drive this thing with low speeds--

988.7 -> just relying on the camera system.

990.5 -> In fact, when we've been setting up some of these exterior shots

993.17 -> that you'll see, I was positioning it basically

995.45 -> just using the cameras.

996.44 -> And that's really helpful, again,

998.3 -> with the vehicle of this size.

999.59 -> You can never get around the size

1001.01 -> if I haven't said that enough.

1002.26 -> But you can make that size workable, nimble, and easy

1006.16 -> to maneuver around.

1006.97 -> And that's what Chevy has done here pretty well.

1009.85 -> So let's talk about ride quality because this

1012.67 -> is a heavy vehicle-- a very heavy vehicle.

1016.09 -> And it's still built on a truck platform,

1020.32 -> let's say, even though it's a really advanced one

1022.36 -> with the rear suspension the way it is.

1024.19 -> So when it comes to ride quality,

1025.82 -> what is that air suspension doing?

1027.24 -> What are those dampers doing to quell it?

1028.95 -> Well, you do get a sense of road texture.

1032.11 -> You do feel a little bit of that constant low frequency

1036.61 -> rumble from the road.

1039.73 -> I happen to like the amount of information

1042.11 -> that's presented to you.

1043.11 -> But if you do want a completely isolated ride,

1045.39 -> you're not going to get that here.

1046.81 -> And I think physics will allow you to get that here.

1050.08 -> And I think that actually ties back into the overall control

1053.41 -> that I sense when I drive this thing,

1055.48 -> where this is a vehicle that's really easy to keep position

1058.16 -> in its lane, and it's really easy

1059.53 -> to maneuver despite its size and how much it weighs.

1062.78 -> The same thing goes for the brake pedal--

1065.47 -> really progressive in its feedback and really easy to

1067.96 -> modulate even in bonkers LA traffic

1070.99 -> where you have to drive nose to tail just to commute

1073.81 -> successfully.

1074.51 -> I don't recommend it.

1075.56 -> That's just the way things happen down here.

1078.49 -> In fact, the only thing that I really have a complaint about

1081.31 -> is this shifter.

1082.24 ->

1085.33 -> I'm not really sure where to start on this, OK?

1087.29 -> So push-button shifters can work.

1090.56 -> Unique shifter designs can work.

1092.45 -> My favorite kind of shifter is just a column-mounted shifter

1094.97 -> like you get on a Silverado--

1097.31 -> really tactile.

1098.84 -> You know exactly what you're getting into.

1100.59 -> You pull down for drive, and you pull lower for lower gears.

1103.13 -> You push up all the way for park.

1105.05 -> With here, it's different.

1108.21 -> That's to be sure because you're pressing buttons for park

1110.63 -> and neutral, and you're pulling up for a drive and reverse.

1113.08 -> Yet there's no texture difference on the upshift

1116 -> and downshift button.

1117.05 -> So you do have to refer to them when

1119.24 -> you want to downshift and upshift gears

1120.95 -> manually like when you're going down a grade.

1123.16 -> And when you're pulling a three-point turn,

1125.72 -> you have to pay closer attention.

1127.22 -> Let's show you what that looks like.

1128.72 ->

1131.36 -> OK, so what we're going do now is

1132.73 -> demonstrate why I have some challenges with this shifter.

1138.2 -> And the way we're going to do that is we're

1139.99 -> going to make a three-point turn on an intentionally narrow road

1144.43 -> to simulate what that's like when you have to do it

1148.18 -> when traffic's coming at you.

1149.71 -> It's not great.

1151.39 -> So I'm going to give that a try as soon as traffic

1154.36 -> is not nearby.

1155.1 -> I did not mean to ride in there.

1156.43 -> So I got to place my hand in this position

1158.18 -> to make sure that I have the right kind of leverage

1160.54 -> over the buttons.

1161.92 -> Turn in, grab reverse, back up.

1169.41 -> The seat vibrates when I'm getting near an obstacle,

1175.13 -> and that works.

1176.59 -> And it works because I've practiced at it a few times.

1179.69 -> I found that if I place my hand like this where

1182.03 -> my ring finger's underneath Drive and my index finger's

1184.73 -> underneath Reverse, I can make it work.

1188.48 -> Now, make it work is different than what I'd prefer it to be,

1192.02 -> and that's just a console-mounted shifter

1194.51 -> or a steering column mounted shifter

1196.19 -> that's more natural to me.

1198.41 -> So just be aware that, that shifter's

1200.48 -> going to take some getting used to.

1204.11 -> But overall, I think this is a really nice vehicle

1207.47 -> to drive given the capability it has to take on

1211.58 -> and the weight and size that come

1213.65 -> as part of that capability.

1216.17 -> Really strong here.

1217.61 -> So that wraps up this review of the Chevy Suburban,

1220.46 -> and let's look at the scorecard.

1222.02 -> Really on the negative side of the ledger you only have

1224.66 -> a couple of weird things like a somewhat strange shifter design

1227.48 -> and the fact that you can only get the 6.2-liter V8

1230.63 -> in the High Country.

1231.77 -> Everything else though is really, really strong

1234.01 -> from the interior space to the functionality,

1235.89 -> from the technology and the sheer usability

1239.03 -> of the Suburban.

1240.05 -> It's such that we're really eager to pair it

1242.06 -> against the Ford Expedition Max.

1243.53 -> [MUSIC PLAYING]
