lol please Expedition could dream of having the success and name recognition that the Suburban has...

The new Suburban IMO looks great...And based off the early sales numbers alot of people seem to think the same.

The Suburban is the king of the full size SUV in America.
Suburban has been the standard of the segment forever and has the name recognition to go with it. Its an icon and I expect it to remain that way.

However to base success on "early sales numbers" is nonsensical, since most of that is dealer stock - getting trucks on the lots. Based on how old the designs of the two main players in this segment had become (GM + Ford), there should be pent up demand for both of them depending on which you prefer.
 
That's nice but where is the comparison to a similarly price Denali XL that has an 8speed, magnetic shocks, and a 6.2 liter that blows doors off???

A Yukon Denali XL 4x4 starts at $69,375.
Does that exist yet? As far as I know, there aren't any 8-speeds on lots yet.
 
Night and day better, but should be priced at $59k not 69k. I know these are bigger, but that's GL territory.

I like the Denali better, just wish they would have switched to IRS and fixed the third row issue like Ford has.
