Suburban as a tow vehicle

Have been looking around at a few Suburbans to use as a tow vehicle.
Im looking at a couple in the 04-07 range.2500 series with 8.1 litre engines.

Anyway,,, A customer of mine (Frame and body shop owner )and I were discussing them today and he mentioned that the suburbans had frame issues ( weak in the rear behind axle) when towing campers and box trailers.

Has anyone heard of frame issues on the suburbans or was my customer probably taking about an isolated incident or repeating something told to him.
