I have had a suburban and it did have 7 seats, the last row will fold down flat. I have normally had a tahoe when we have hired a 7 seater SUV. If you want a larger car then it will be a minivan not an SUV. The hardest thing will be the luggage run as with the back seats up for occupants, the back is about the same size a good sized normal SUV,but they do have very square backs, and you may not see a lot out of the window, but for just a one trip back and forth you could be fine. You will have to flip the back passenger seat up and down to use the far back row. but it easy.
