Handling is surprisingly good for a vehicle of this size. The Suburban takes sweeping curves with more speed than expected, slows and stops decisively, and doesn’t suffer excessive body motion. The standard 265/70 tires aren’t much to brag about, and it’s ridiculous that the Suburban so easily scrapes its front air dam on driveway aprons and drainage dips – especially the 4WD model. That trait underlines the fact that the Suburban is designed for driving on pavement, and with its soft-sidewall tires and suspension tuning clearly meant to soak up urban bumps this truck almost glides on air. That certainly serves its primary buyer, but I can’t help but think this 4WD rig should be a little stiffer.
