Both are full-size SUVs, and both are assembled in Arlington, Texas. They look alike and feel alike to drive. The Suburban is the longer one. That extra length means more cargo room behind the third row. The Tahoe is a bit shorter, so it can be a little easier to park and maneuver. If you want maximum space, lean Suburban. If you want full-size capability that fits your garage and daily errands a touch better, lean Tahoe. Both are great choices.
