1500 Yukon XL Denali vs 2500 Suburban 8.1
Hello all, As you can see from my subject line, I'm contemplating making a change from my 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali to a 2004 Chevy Suburban (2500). I'm looking for some real world comparisons ...

Is it worth the change to get the 10 ply tires, bigger brakes, bigger suspension, transmission, etc?
Absolutely. Although everything has its limits, with the 2500 Sub you should be able to load your trailer to the max and still not worry about overloading your Suburban, even if you take extra supplies or your kids invite a friend or two. The hilly terrain as you head west will seem a lot flatter with the 8.1 engine, and you likely will get around the same MPG towing, maybe a tiny bit less. I'd do it in a heartbeat.
