When is the Suburban the right call?

When every seat is filled most weekends and you still need space for gear, or when long highway trips make the extra 104 miles of Duramax range valuable.

When is the Tahoe the smarter buy?

When garage length, tight parking or a $3,000 saving matters more than extra cargo room. Plenty of Plainfield families with older kids who pack light choose the Tahoe.
