We started out towing a hybrid with a 1/2 ton Suburban. Wasn't too bad. Wanted the Burb because we were hauling kids/dogs. Then we went to a Class C. Then, went to a 25ft TT. The Suburban was very underpowered. I am not any type of mechanic but I felt the Suburban transmission was getting a little, 'slippy' while driving without the TT. This spring, it was time to buy tires for the Burb. Didn't feel comfortable keeping it as TV. 2500 Suburbans are very hard to find in this area, nice ones are too $$ for my pocket. We listened to some good advice here on the forum, and got a used, one-ton van. Not real pretty,(white), but it does the job. The dealer gave us a generous trade on the Suburban. If you ever feel as if you need to find another TV, consider a van. Good luck with your new TT. Look's like a lot of fun!
