Call my 1996 GMT400 3/4 ton, 7.4L, 4x4 Suburban a K3500...because it has the
same rear live axle as the 1 ton dually of that year and the biggie is that ordered
it with the F60 option, which is the 1 ton front torsion bars (snow plow prep
package)
Same RGAWR of 6,000 lbs. Front is 4,250 GAWR whereas the 1 ton dually
has a 5,xxx front GAWR
Don't know about the frame, but the main difference is in the rear brake cylinders
(larger bore...mine has been converted to them) and the front disc is thicker
and thicker pads. MC is bored larger too and mine has also been converted
I keep my vehicles for decades and decades....but if they do come out with a
true 1 ton (K3500) Suburban...I'd most likely jump after a couple years after
it comes out...might even get one of them first off if it looks good to me
I'd prefer a higher GVWR and no diesel. The iron block 6.0L and would add a
blower. Not convinced the 6.2L Alu block will do for me.
Manual over an automatic.
The 7K RGAWR. 11.5" ring gear and 4.1's
Of course a better traditional design receiver that is NOT part of the bumper
Numbers isn't the only thing...pure marketing "King of the SUV's" is
huge and drive even more sales for the whole family of SUV/CUV's
Might even drag sales numbers up for the fake Suburban...AKA Yukon XL
