3/4 or 1 ton SUV ?
Crazy question. We loved our Travel trailer. Weight 6,100 lbs. Length 28 foot. Towed it with Dodge Durango V8. Never had an issue towing. Recently moved to 5th wheel keeping it as seasonal for now. Do...

Grit...now you’ve got me going on ‘Fashion Statement Crowd’...
Loved it when the OEM’s coined SUV. Made perfect sense for what my off roaders were, but soon noticed more and more garbage out there in the boonies, ‘they’ were getting stuck in the stupidest ways and the biggie...when ordering my 1996 Suburban...found no more 4x4 floor shifter...no manual hubs...etc.
Bit the bullet and ordered it anyway thinking could make do and did. Miss ability to shift on the fly into or out of compound low...but with the ‘dash mounted 4x4 buttons’ had to be at a stand still.
Then owned a Suburban/Tahoe/SUV forum and is how I got here...a member asked for comments.
Fashion statement crowed drove me nuts with their questions and then the OEM’s protected themselves from these folks and the SUV’s became more station wagons for soccer mom’s than SUV’s...
Anyway, if the OP can deal with an older 3/4 TV, they are out there.
Look for the F60 option on 2500 Suburbans. That is a Snow Plow prep option (ordered mine for $68 bucks), which gets 1 ton front suspension torsion bars....and the rear axle is the same as the dually with the same GAWR of 6,000 lbs.
Why refer tongue on cheek to mine as a K3500 Suburban.
Folks are always asking if they could buy my Sub...no way !
