Hey Joe,
The Curt Echo # C51180 is going to work well with your setup. You will want to make sure the Suburban has a 7 way plug in the rear for this unit to plug into. The Curt Echo is rated for use with trailers up to 2 axles, and after some digging it looks like that is what you will be towing so there will be no issues.
Are you interested in the ability to control the controller by the app on your phone?
