my wife's new Suburban LT

That's not an SUV, it is a light truck; not an sport vehicle, just a UV. Which is fine, no problem. A lot of people have a pickup truck with the same equipment except for the enclosed body, and they put a fancy camper shell on it, and there they are: poor man's SUV.

I wonder if you thought you read "Silverado" instead of "Suburban." Because, even if it's not particularly sporty, the Suburban was arguably the first SUV. There were lots of truck-based SUVs before the car-based and crossovers arrived on the scene.
