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....

Typically and realistically, the half ton Suburban should be good up to 6000 pounds dry. You'll run out of payload or receiver rating before towing capacity. You may find the right 7500 pound dry TT that stays under the 1000 pound receiver rating even loaded, or you may be over with a 5000 pound dry TT. If your payload is 1400 pounds and family weighs 600 pounds, then you have 900 pounds left for trailer tongue weight. 900 pounds of TW means about 6500-7000 loaded, or 5500 pounds dry.
The Jayco Jflight SLX 264BHW should be a good match. Get a weight distributing height with integrated sway control and learn how to adjust it. Get a proportional brake controller. Use Tow/haul trans mode. Happy camping!
