Had the pleasure of finding out this week that GM has discontinued production of the 2500 variety of the Suburban and Yukon XL for 2014. All indicators point that there will never be another 3/4-ton variant of the Suburban.
GM never told our usual dealer that this was happening, and when we missed the cutoff to order a 2013, we were pretty much screwed. Victory Red (the usual fire engine red color) is a special order only, so they're just not out there. Even fairly simply equipped Suburbans and Yukons in the 2500 variant are very rare in other colors.
Very unhappy with GM. There is now no option available for a heavy duty SUV for our use. If anyone knows of a victory red 2500 4x4 Suburban or Yukon XL out there, I'll reward you some sort of finder's fee. They simply are not out there...
