The Chevrolet Suburban was down year-to-date 29 percent, while the GMC Yukon was down 29 percent, the Ford Explorer down 23 percent and the Ford Expedition were down 25 percent. The numbers aren't great for any manufacturer in the large SUV segment. Only the Nissan Armada and Suzuki XL-7 are projected to sell more vehicles this year than they did last year. That's only 2 out of 23 large SUVs selling better this year.
