I don't think that is common at least as far as I know. One of my buddies is on his third one, trades when he gets to 100k, the other is on his second. Neither have had any problems. I know of several others with various mileage and no problems but admittedly it's a small sample.The 3.0? Buddy just got his 24 Sierra AT4 back after sitting for months at the dealership.

A suburban has the topper built in.I used to always use a half ton pickup with a topper. That is the most versatile rig for bird hunting. Four-wheel drive of course.
I drove a 2017 Colorado, I like the engine, but I didn't like the seats.After 3 Suburbans I switched to a smaller Chevy Colorado. Benefits and drawbacks to both. My Colorado is easier to navigate on narrow trails and roads and a lot easier to turn around. It also has front and rear locking differential and higher clearance. Colorado with diesel gets about 24 mpg on highway but cost for fuel is higher, so probably a wash. I loved my 2001 Suburban Z71 but my 2018 Colorado is tough to beat for a hunting vehicle for me and my 2 dogs.
My daily is 2024 GMC 1500 with the new 4cyl gas turbo engine. In its defense I put 50-60k a year on them between work and hunting etc so they get driven but the transmission already shifts a little funny, the engine stays in high idle until put in gear, and I've had a check engine light on for emissions crap for the last 10k. Been a GM guy my whole life but this one is kinda letting me down. I've got friends and customers with all brands and they've all got problems these days. Creature comforts but junk, at least they're cheap to buy....I don't think that is common at least as far as I know.

I’ll be your girlfriend….I might scrap the suburban idea and hunt out of an old Power Wagon this year.
