Very nice DJ. I'm envious and anxious to hear how she tows!
Thanks! I'm anxious too actually!
Was leaning towards getting a Crew Cab truck for quite a while, but I think the Suburban is going to work out much better with the dog riding along. I like to keep her crate with me so that if I need to go in anywhere for a minute, she can be secured. She's unfortunately been known to tear up tinted windows when left out, so the Burb is going to provide plenty of room for that.

Congrats DJ. We picked up our 2500 Burb (8.1/4.10) a little less than a year ago. We're now towing a 35' trailer at 8,000 pounds and she handles it liked dream. Gas usage hurts, but the tow experience is incomparable for an SUV.
This is very encouraging. I will be pulling a 28' trailer that weighs in around 6-7K, so I'm hoping for a pleasant experience. The TBSS always pulled it OK, but really struggled when there was heavy side winds. Also, I avoided any mountain grades because I was unsure if it could handle it. Coming down the back side of the mountain is not where you want to find out it couldn't handle it!
In 2013 however, we're hitting the high ground. So watch out Trout, you got a break in 2012 but I'm coming for you this spring! :B
