Suburban/Full size SUV advice

Hi everyone! My family of 4 has also 3 dogs and we are looking for a vehicle to go on road trips, haul kids to practice, tow a boat and small camper (<10000lbs).

My wife likes the looks of the Suburban and I started doing some research only to find some reliability issues with the 6.2L V8 and transmission on the newer models.

Having said that, I did find a relatively low miles and decently priced Suburban with the 5.3L V8, but I’m wondering if it’s good to be true? 2022 Under 40k miles listed for ~$43k

Here’s the carfax: https://www.carfax.com/vehiclehistory/ar20/mm9z41Zm1SvxuNzChuX\_rR0nxZ7WDelJXYIJExxrAhhLdhqqb3fan4yXQU143L1mK0lWwLYUwjAfa-sNiJsYOpyoO87tGcr\_2WI

Based on the history of the vehicle does it look like a lemon? What others vehicles should I look for in the market for under 50k that will fit the bill and hopefully has good reliability? I don’t have a problem getting an older vehicle either, my only must have besides space is remote start.

Thanks in advance!!
