Can I pull this trailer with my Suburban?

Some people wouldn't pull a utility trailer with anything less than a 3500. They are whacko.

THAT is a TOTAL FABRICATION on your part and IMO makes you the WACKO for perpetuating such a FALSHOOD and again IMO puts your opinion suspect for even being seriously considered.

I challenge you to provide at least two links that supports that statement in those words. I was going to make that a single statement, but there just might as you have said might be more than the one confirmed WACKO we know of.

Hope you are joking? If not, you should be.


I've been on here longer than most, (not that that means anything) and I've seen too many "can I pull this?" threads, to even count. That said, this forum is FAMOUS for towing opinions, cheerfully given by folks who haven't a clue, or are dealing with their worn set of "facts" that are totally correct, assuming that it's still 1975. How about the infamous, "you will never pull that with a half ton" silliness? Doesn't matter that the half-ton in question is rated to tow 8-9K, or even more, and had twice the horsepower, braking and other key components as the "half ton" that gramps had, "back in the day". Yes, I HAVE even seen RV.net "experts" recommend that the poster sell a perfectly reasonable trailer, that's well within the capacity of the TV, and buy a pop-up, since they ineviably will die a horrible death if they pull the rig in question. NO, I have no interest in shoveling through the archives to find the many times that such horse sheet was offered. You have been here long enough to know how ridiculous "advice" sometimes gets when it comes to this topic.
