Burb 2500 (2008-2013)
Good afternoon! I believe I have settled on my TV/TT combo and will likely purchase in 3-6 months (ok, I may change my mind a few hundred times during that time, but this seems like the ideal combo...

Depending on trim level it could have air ride or not. Personally I think your being pessimestic on your numbers. The Suburban could likely weigh 6500 pounds long before you add fuel, passangers or stuff for traveling. Hitch weight will be aroumd 12-15% of trailers scaled weight. Dont have that? Use 12% of the trailers GVWR.
Equalizer bars and sway control? You bet. Unless you opt for a hitch like the Hensley Arrow that offers built in sway control.
Intrigrated brake controller? Just done see that as that big of a deal to me. I like my Prodigy just fine.
I have the curb weight at 6,438 (without passengers or cargo). Supposedly the GM curb weight includes a full tank of gas, but again, I will not be able to know for sure until I get the vehicle. I plan to purchase the 3P, which is similar to the Hensley Arrow (both developed by Jim Hensley). I should still have room to play in both the TV GVWR and the payload if I drop down in tongue weight, which is supposedly easy with the 3P. Thoughts?
Thank you all for the input.
