I am not sure why you want a 2015 or newer in the GM. I personally would look for a 2014 Yukon XL Denali. This would give the 6.2, 6sp, and very nicely loaded vehicle. I had a 2012 and 2013 Suburban, and put more than 20k miles on each in 6 months.
I also just took a 2015 Suburban on a three hour road trip with 3 couples. None of the third row passengers complained. Our other vehicle option was my 2014 Express 3500. I liked the functionality of the third row seats in the pre 2015 versions, and liked the big heavy seat in the pre-2007 versions more, and loved the space in the pre-2000 versions. I have driven the Denali, and get better highway mpg with the 6.2 than the 5.3.
I have read that there is an issue with the dash breaking near airbag leaving basically shrapnel waiting to shoot at you if airbag is deployed and GM refuses to release a recall even though they know there is an issue. I also like some of the techie upgrades Chevy made in 2015, I mean I guess we could do these things ourselves). I am not a motor person, I am assuming older motor was a better one? Sorry if my reasoning is stupid, was researching and came across 1000's of people with same problem with I think it was 2011-2013 or 2014 model GM and Chevy trucks and SUVs. Seems like GM would want to fix the problem.
ETA: I looked up the dash problem and looks like they upgraded it for the 2014 model, so I will take a look at some of those too thanks. How come you would recommend a Denali if you picked a suburban? JW ;)
