Considering 2012-2015 Suburban, have a few questions

I was after the 8.1 but have moved more to the newer-ish models. This will be more of a family hauler with fewer towing jobs than planned.

I know these aren't meant for stellar MPG's, but the high teens, low 20's is also welcome.

One question is for the owners of the 6.0 2500 burb, what is your highway MPG without a trailer?

The 1500 5.3 is likely where I will be but the tow rating is dismal. Also worried about the AFM which is why I'm looking at the 2015 model.

Just trying to gather my thoughts and seek opinions. The 6.0 seems to be the better drivetrain at a cost of MPG's.
