On edit...looks like GM does offer an NHT Max trailering package for the 2015 suburban... Good deal!

Thanks!

Any guesses or a way to find out what the ballpark payload capacity would be for a 2015 1/2 ton Suburban with the NHT Max Trailering package?

Just curious. I'll be keeping the 3/4 ton Burb for a while now, but sure would like to find something in a few years that could get me back up to the mid-high teens in mpg along with having some more creature comforts than what our 2004 Suburban LS has.

Yes I do. Here is the payload sticker from a 2 WD 2015 Suburban LT I rented about Two months ago.



The NHT package should give comparable payload numbers if not more. I would guesstimate in the 1600-1800 lb range... I am not sure about your 2500 suburban but I have seen 2500's with payload numbers just a few hundred lbs more than this.

A comment was made about the integrated receiver. Just for kicks, here is a pic of the receiver from the same 2015 Suburban rental






@ APT...those wheels are 3/4 ton truck wheels. Note those funny lug nut caps are not production or even matching covers for those wheels. This is an 8 lug suburban.

Thanks!
