The towing capacity of my suburban says 6,000 lbs. Is there a magic formula I should stay under as far as trailer? I've been told to stay around 5,000. We really like one that's 5,400.
I have had two older Suburbans. I have lost transmission on each towing a TT that was under the "rated weight". The Suburban was OK on flat land but the mountains of east TN and east PA (I40 and I84) did in the transmissions.
