The GM Authority Take

The Suburban remained a leader in segment in July, beating its GMC-badge brother — the GMC Yukon XL, as well as the Ford Expedition, whose sales figures include those of the short- and long-wheelbase Expedition. However, the 33 percent drop in U.S. sales volume is concerning since vehicles based on GM’s K2 truck platform — which the current-generation Chevy Suburban rides on — are significant profit drivers for General Motors. As such, a drop in Tahoe deliveries could have a negative impact on GM earnings.
