After spending more than 15 hours driving across Texas with my family in the 2024 Chevrolet Suburban High Country, I get it: a full size SUV is great for a road trip, but can it also be good investment for every day driving?

The power of the 3.0L Duramax turbo diesel engine in our test model was definitely nice, but let’s be honest: comfort, space, and a bit of sanity are the top priorities in a family car—for daily use or holiday driving. I discovered firsthand why the Chevy Suburban, which is larger with more cargo space than its Chevy Tahoe sibling, is such a popular choice for family road trips, from ample storage space to innovative tech.

But can you justify the price, starting at $59,200 for the base model to $92,750 for the fully loaded Chevrolet Suburban 4WD High Country model we test drove? I’m not saying you need to go all in on the top of the line for your next family car, but here are some things to consider in a full-size family-friendly SUV, and how it will make your road trips easier, less stressful and more fun.
