Payload is about 2300 pounds for the 6.0L and 2000 pounds for 8.1L, both 4WD. Plenty for large family RVing.
I think as long as it has the 8.1L, you'll love it.
I would not say most of the 2000-2006 3/4 ton Suburbans have 12k towing capacity. Most are 6.0L which has tow ratings of 7500/9500 pounds for 3.73/4.10 axles. 8.1L is 10.5k/12k for 3.73/4.10.
I looked for about a year for a very selective 8.1L and ended up buying new instead. Good luck!
I thought the 8.1s had more payload than that?
My 'Burban specs.
This says my 'Burban has ~2,900 lbs of payload. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the numbers. I can't find where on my truck it states my payload. The yellow sticker doesn't show this number.
