Full-size SUVs fit few families these days—but for those that still need maximum passenger and cargo space as well as top tow ratings, the Chevrolet Suburban has few peers.
GMC's nearly identical Yukon XL is one; the next most popular pair of traditional SUVs come from Ford in the form of the Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.
Both offer controlled handling for vehicles of this size and their independent rear suspensions deliver even better ride quality.
The Toyota Sequoia, while unrefined inside, offers a well performing, smooth powertrain.
The Nissan Armada is getting on in age and lacks updates to keep it competitive in the segment.
