seems a reasonable upgrade for the suburban, It was was rated at 13mpg combined.

The old mercedes might have had some issues, was rated maybe 22mpg?

But yah aero on the truck is awful, and it is still an automatic, so pump up the tires good, take your time, quit idling so much

and I'll bet you could beat 20.
