The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
6.8
6.2
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2018 Chevrolet Suburban is the ultimate weekend road-trip vehicle ready to haul nine people, their luggage, and even an 8,300 pound trailer. Try that in a crossover. The 2018 Nissan Armada pairs good towing performance with a roomy, comfortable interior worthy of a luxury label.
