How much Should I tow with a Suburban?
Hello, Our family is brand new to camping and would like some advice please. I (we) would like to purchase a trailer. I'm wanting to do this correctly and have concerns about length and weight....

The newer Suburban hitch receivers are only rated to carry 1000 lbs.
So working from there, divide the max receiver weight by 15% to get closer to what you can tow.
1000 / .15 = 6667
Look for a TT that has less than a 6667 GVWR or less than a dry weight of 5400#s.
Also, look at your cargo carrying sticker if you plan on alot of passenger weight. Add up the tongue weight, hitch weight, and passengers. Don't exceed the payload either.
