Will 2000 Tahoe parts fit 2002 Suburban?
Others with more experience will give more detailed answers, if they're in the mood.

Following answers are oversimplified, as is the question:

Will a GMT400 2000 Tahoe's parts fit a 2002 Suburban?
NO, with precious few exceptions; they are of two different generations.

Will a GMT800 2000 Tahoe's parts fit a 2002 Suburban?
YES, from the B-pillar (back of the closed front door) FORWARD, pretty much the same vehicle, with few exceptions.
From the B-pillar (back of the closed front door) BACK, some 'yes'es, some 'no's due to the differences in wheelbase.
Rear hatches / rear glass / rear tail lights / rear bumpers should interchange.

^^^ THIS. What kind of parts are you contemplating changing? Body, drivetrain, interior, or ???

Post pics of the Tahoe and the Suburban, please, and we'll know a lot more.

If they're both the same generation the only parts that winter interchange are the items that are longer for the Suburban.

What are you looking for?

What parts specifically are you asking about? Can’t really provide much help without knowing what you need to trade. Lugnuts, radio knobs, front seats, wiper blades, speak plugs, etc…..

Tahoe rear doors will swap with Suburban rear doors, but make sure there is not body cladding. The body cladding on the Tahoe door on the Suburban body looks terrible.

This was before I was brave enough to swap window motors -- don't make too much fun of me, please. Two, functional doors with all pieces including the interior panels and switches, $100. Swapping the doors out? Less than 30 minutes per side, solo.

But you can see how awful the body-cladding looks for yourself.

The rear doors were from a “tahoe” xl, right?

Tahoe rear doors cut around the wheel well, they're not the same as Suburban. Tahoe and Yukon interchange, Suburban and Yukon XL interchange.

I'm sure one COULD put rear doors from a short-wheelbase Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade, on a long-wheelbase Suburban/XL/ESV ...
... COULD ... but WHY?
