F150 vs. Suburban?
Hi everyone. First post here. We just bought a 2017 Grand Design Imagine 3150BH travel trailer. It's dry weight is approx. 7500lbs. We bought it to pull with my wife's company 2012 Chevy Suburban ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Our total weight doesn't increase that much (for the trailer itself). We aren't adding any fresh water to the tanks (yet) and travel pretty light. The heaviest things are two bicycles. I would say at the very most the trailer goes from 7500 to 8500.
It's still a 36' long trailer. You can equip an F150 with all of the heavy payload and towing packages and get by with it, or you can spend less on your preferred variety of heavy duty truck and get a lot better towing performance with very little to no compromise in your daily driving comfort. Personally I think diesels are worth the extra money up front but it certainly wouldn't be necessary with that size trailer. Go do some test driving!
