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.

When my neighbor Stan brought his new Suburban home many years ago, sport was the last thing on his mind. Nobody ever accused Stan of being anything but utility.
