The value proposition of the Chevrolet Suburban has traditionally been that of a utilitarian workhorse–a truck for people who needed a little more weather protection for whatever they were hauling, or additional seating for kids who weren’t cool enough to sit in the back of an open pickup like we used to before all our friends died.
In a lot …
even if my bank statement says someone else will have to enjoy it.
Story of my life.
I can't say I'm surprised at how capable it is–at least if the sheer number I see on the road is any indication.
8200lb towing capacity for 100K seems dubious to me. The 2/3500 optioned out well are rolling palaces.

"Don't run." Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV.
Yeah I was a little surprised there, especially since the pickup versions spec out at a few thousand lbs more capacity.
Not when you can buy something similar for under 10% of that. This was $9k.
How many years of living in a non resort beach town in mexico would 100k get me? Asking for an aging friend.
I would hope there is an option for the seatbacks and rear cargo area to have hard plastic, I would think that carpet would get destroyed if you wanted to haul anything "Chevy Style". This is Range Rover kind of market.

Personally, I'd like to see more utilitarian type of vehicles that are trucks, too. Too many of them cater to the crowd that just wants a spacious, yet plush vehicle to get from point A to B.

*Kei trucks have entered the chat*
I can build a 2026 Chevrolet Suburban LS 2WD for $61,000 plus taxes/fees on the employee plan.
Can you be just as happy with a $61,000 Suburban as you would with the $100,000 one?

That's going to be a 5.3. I couldn't spec out anything with a 6.2 under about $82,000.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
I forgot about that - they do the same thing with the trucks.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
Screw the Suburban- let’s just order up a base model WT Dually 3500 2WD for $51,000. This has the 6.2…….
MSRP before any options to get a 6.2L in Canada *starts* at $109,208.
I don't even know if I wanna build it to what I'd like or my wallet may never stop crying...

Like a despotic king about 3 and you would die of gout.
The family plan is to retire in ~5 years to Cabo and the lifestyle we will have for 50K a year is bonkers.
