Would a 2004 Suburban 1500 with tow package be able to tow in long vacations a Keystone Ultra Lite Premier 22RBPR (25.5 ft, 4690 dry weight. Any comments on suitability of Suburban and review on TT itself would be greatly appreciated.
We towed with a 2004 Suburban for a while....she was a beast. IIRC, the max trailer weight was 8600lbs. At the time, it was just the me, the wife, and two kids less than 50lbs. I never really worried about the weight in the Suburban, as the trailer only weighed 5500lbs (lite toy hauler with no toys). As the kids have gotten older (and heavier), plus a dog, and the desire to have a larger trailer, we had to replace the Suburban for a more capable TV.
Be sure you get your WD set up properly and only expect 8-10 mpg while towing. When I was setting up the Suburban WD, I posted a bunch of pics on here and a lot of folks helped me dial it in real nice.
