Suburban 2500…6.0 vs 8.1 vs Excursion V10
I have been really considering buying a Suburban 2500 from the early to mid 2000's. We are an SUV family and I think we will be well served by our future TT with a Suburban 2500.
My wife and I ride into work together a lot but there are times where we will have to commute separately to work about 70 miles round trip.
The question is then.. do I sacrifice the few extra MPG's of the 6.0 Suburban for the brute power of the 8.1 or will the 6.0 be more than enough for our future 8-9000 lb TT?
If you do not mind… would owners or those who have experience with both these subs post MPG and that sort of thing?
And no, I have not ruled out an Excursion with a V10 :) My last experience with a V10 was great, just very thirsty… My Dually V10 got about 9-9.5 empty all the time. If I could get an Excursion V10 to kiss 13-14 on an interstate commute that would be more than acceptable too.
Yes, I know its petty to talk about MPG with these beasts, however, putting 10-20k per year on a vehicle is always a possibility and every MPG helps.
Thanks!
