- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally praise the Suburban for its cavernous interior, strong towing capability, and refined long-distance ride quality. Most acknowledge it as a benchmark for full-size SUV utility. The consensus also notes that its large footprint can make urban driving challenging, and some reviewers flag that its size and ride height come with handling tradeoffs compared to car-based crossover alternatives.
