TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Chevrolet Suburban can haul the family and its gear in relative comfort and style, as well as tow the toys.

The 2020 Ford Expedition sets a benchmark for full-size SUVs, with rugged ability and sophisticated sensibilities.

The 2020 Nissan Armada is an old-school SUV with more charms than its brutish proportions might suggest.

TCC Likes

Massive V-8 power
8,300-pound towing

TCC Dislikes
