Yup, Suburbans are undeniably king.
I have seen that article, and it is pretty cool and to the point.

When it comes to family-hauling four-wheel drives, the Chevrolet Suburban is undeniably king. The longest-running nameplate of its kind, the Suburban was introduced in 1936 as part of the ½-ton FB Series. The Suburban Carryall was a two-door panel truck with the cargo area replaced by passenger seating. A 237-cid inline-six was tasked with powering the heavy beast.
Like its utility vehicle brethren, the Suburban served in WWII as a military transport vehicle. When post-war civilian production resumed, the Suburban was largely unchanged. The 1950s brought a series of innovative improvements: Hydra-Matic transmission (1953-54), V-8 power (1955) and four-wheel drive (1957), which was initially offered only on six-cylinder models.
1957 Suburban
The sixth generation Suburban received a restyled body featuring a third rear door, and C (2WD) and K (4WD) model designations were introduced.
General Motors overhauled the Suburban in 1973; the handsome exterior, improved accessibility and ease of use made the Suburban appealing to growing families. Full time four-wheel drive and engine options capped off by a 454-cid/240-hp V-8 gave the king towing power to haul just about any type of recreational toy a family desired.
The Suburban assumed its place at the top of the four-wheel-drive family hauler heap in the 1990s when inexpensive gas prices and a strong economy resulted in the model’s highest sales totals.
