Heard thru grape vine Suburban 2500 in 2016!!
GMnews.com released article that there will be a 2500 burb in 2016 !! details are to come.
Forum Discussion
The rear axle on the burb is rated at 6084, exactly twice the 3042 lb max load of 245/75-16E tires. I went to 265 tires that are rated at 3470 each, giving me an additional 856 lbs of axle rating, since AAM rates the axle at 10k lbs.
If I had time I would draw a Venn diagram, but basically:
Circle #1 is people that tow a trailer, most drive a crew cab pickup
Circle #2 is families that are big enough to need a 3rd row, most drive a minivan.
The overlap area is families that are large enough to need a 3rd row and also tow a trailer. Overlap area is veeerryyy small compared to the overall market.
Maybe the market would be better for an HD Escalade ESV?
