That big motor is heavy and so are the options. mine is an LT so has all bells/whistles. At the scales empty except for me and a full tank of gas it weighed in at 6700 against a GVWR of 8600, so accounting for my 250, payload is really about 2150. A 6.0L LS model will weigh less and have a higher payload capacity since the GVWR is the same.
Ugh...I thought I had more payload. Can't believe I didn't understand payload. At least I don't think I was ever over loaded. Nothing extra was in the Burb. Time to look for a lighter trailer to tow! haha
Anyway, I agree that the motor is the main thing to look at. Ours is a 2002. Bought it for $9600 with 104k. Towed our TT up the mountains and had no problems.
