The 2009 Chevrolet Suburban is quite similar to the Chevy Tahoe, which is also based on the GMT900 truck platform. In truth, the Suburban is an extended-length version of the Tahoe, with similar styling all around but with an extra 20 inches of length and more than a foot of wheelbase--most of which goes to the third-row seats and the area behind them.
