Anyone with experience towing with a Suburban
Hi, I’d like to hear from people who have experience towing a larger travel trailer with a Suburban. I have a Suburban 1500 5.3L. I want to buy the largest travel trailer my suburban can safely tow. ...

I had a Suburban 1500 with a 5.3L towing a 28' trailer that grossed out at about 7600lbs including tongue weight. I would normally tow with the trailer weighing about 6,000 plus the tongue weight at about 650. I didn't have any issues with sway or power on a level hwy but I live in CO so I rarely encounter straight and level roads. The 5.3L motor was pretty gutless on hills at altitude. I ended up finding a used Suburban 2500 with a 8.1L engine. Things are a lot better now for Colorado towing.
