I'd try to find a used 2500 with an 8.1 L engine unless you are concerned about the mileage when not towing. Our old 8.1 Suburban got around 9 mpg whether towing or not! Our 6.0 L Suburban gets around 9+ when towing our 7500 lb. travel trailer and about 12 mpg around town. It gets 16 mpg on the highway when not towing but we are rarely in that situation.
