Unless it's a daily driver, I'd find a 2000+ 8.1L. If DD, then 2000+ 6.0L. Both engine offer better fuel economy with more power than the prior generation.
It would be a dedicated TV. 10th gen (2000+) 2500 suburbans so far have been well outside my $3k vehicle purchase budget unless they need some pretty major work. The expeditions have been more plentiful, and I am considering this suburban in particular because I think it might be a little better. I could possibly buy this and get it sorted under my budget. I have a bit more to work with, but I am saving that for unexpected used vehicle issues that are inevitable with any used car purchase.
The TV & TT would likely never leave the state as a combo no matter what we get. So as long as it's good enough to safely tow I'll be OK with it. Now if it's just going to blow apart towing at 60 going down the interstate...
