The best brake controller for your Suburban is going to be the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller item # RED63RR. This is a proportional brake controller that activates your trailer's brakes when your Suburban decelerates.
The reason the Tow-Pro Liberty is the best option is because of its unique installation method where the only visible portion is the control knob that's about the size of a nickel. The main unit is hidden away inside your dash to be completely out of the way and out of sight.
The Redarc has a 3-Axis accelerometer that measures deceleration in all directions for precise braking and smooth, uniform stopping action. It is a proportional brake controller that in response to your Durango's braking action. It automatically adjusts the trailer's braking based on deceleration of your vehicle. The brakes activate immediately, there is no pausing like with time-delayed brake controllers.
Since your 2023 Chevrolet Suburban has the tow package you will not need to worry about splicing wires because you will have a port beneath your dash that the Tekonsha Plug in Adapter item # 3064-P will connect to. This adapter will give you an easy plug and play installation.
I have linked a picture below that will show you what the Redarc item # RED63RR looks like when installed. I have also included a picture of where you can find the brake controller adapter and linked an installation video that will be helpful as well.
