Hi,
I have always been a tent camper until the last few years. We are lucky to have access to my Fathers 33 ft travel trailer (8500 lbs). It serves our needs perfect. I am currently pulling it with a 2005 Chevy Suburban Z71. It does fine in flat areas but I hesitate to travel into hilly areas. Now that we are ready for a new vehicle, I would like to get something that has a bit more strength.
Any suggestions out their for an 8 passenger SUV with manageable gas mileage? So far, it seems that none of the Suburban 1500's can handle it and 2500's will cost me an extra $900 per year in gas.
Too bad your father's TT is so heavy. We're towing our 31 foot with around 2000 lbs less weight. Is it 8500 pounds fully loaded?
