Which 2021 Suburban trim does Edmunds recommend?
With six trim levels to choose from, there's a Suburban for almost every application. Our money would go toward the well-rounded LT because of its lower starting price and pleasing number of standard features. Consider springing for the LT Signature package to get 20-inch wheels and a panoramic sunroof as well as the included Max Trailering and Luxury packages.
