I think you're correct and there is a big "hole " in the SUV/towrig offerings with the death of the Excursions and real suburbans. Whether it's EPA mandates or the last recession, it's really weird that at least 1 of the big 3 hasn't latched back on to the idea.
Duraburbs are hella expensive and 12V Fummins are only for mechanics/tinkerers. No avg Joe is going to convert a Ford to a Cummins powered truck. They are sweet though. A buddy did a P pumped 12 valve in an Eddie Bauer Excursion. Nice unique tow rig.

And right now with the economy, cheap fuel and the popularity of excessive trucks, it would be hugely successful.
In the mean time, if that's what you must have, snap up a good Burb or Ex while they're still available.
Here you go--a 1 ton Suburban. Strangely enough, it's only rated to tow 3000 lb.
