What size tires do you have? Are they 275/50 r22?

Probably not, that isn't the right tire size for a K2. The 275/50 and narrower and taller (which will also make the speedometer and odometer off) than the 285/45.

While all that is true…they look like 275/50’s.

Not really. They look just like a 285/45. Plus, they're Michelin Premier LTX which is now discontinued (because it was not a very good tire for a full-size) and to the best of my knowledge was never even offered in 275/50.

I'm looking at a 2016 Suburban LS with 5.3, cloth, Max trailer package, smooth ride air shocks, 20" wheels with 61k miles. Dealer wants $39k. I test drove it today, first time in this model year. I've driven a rental 2008 Tahoe, and this is more powerful. Smooth with positive feeling shifts like mine. Do these have the AFM and are they still burning oil and wearing out rockers? Any issues I should look out for? thanks.
From a style perspective, my favorite is the 4th generation GMT K2UC/G (15-20).
I can't stand the new 5th generation body style (GMT1YC) because of the way it sits on the chassis.

I like the look where the body is flush with the chassis and the wheels are flush with fenders, if that makes sense. The problem with the 5th is that even if you were to put offset wheels on there, you still have the rear and front to deal with too.
From a reliability standpoint, the 07-14 5.3 motors have more than proven their worth. The 2010-2013 door panels pull handles tend to fall apart though and another issue I can think of is the actuators in the dash going out.

My daily for the last 6 Months has been a 17 Range Rover. I drove a 15 Yukon home a few weeks ago I fell in love and bought it. I've been working in the Auto Industry since I was 17 and I can't believe I slept on these rigs for so long. They are so comfortable and drive AMAZING. Will be selling the Rover as soon as the Yukon is dialed in.

Me too, they were hiding in plain sight.

I have a 2018 that has 80k and the only thing changed was the front struts and soon the rears. Besides this the truck has not seen the dealer since new. I only have to replace the center armrest lid. The k2xx is a very quiet and solid ride. I think this is the last model that will have the rear differential (non IRS). I had a 2008 for 14 years and I have to say the k2xx has Benz quality and feel. I would buy again and probably my next one will be a 2020 platinum with low miles. I love the look especially the front end over the 2021+.

Lid is an easy swap, one issue the Escalade has that the others don’t because of the nicer material just doesn’t seem to last. You can replace with the same or I think in 2018 they came out with a more durable one similar to the other models (on the left in the below picture).

Looks great but doesn’t feel the same though so if you’re a texture person I would go with the original.
