Tahoe, Yukon EL, suburban or expedition EL
Hi everyone, So this is only a semi rv question, but you all have always been so knowledgable and helpful I thought I'd come here to ask. So our TT owning dreams have been put on hold as we got ...

2013 was the last year for the 3/4 ton Suburban/Yukon XL that was kind of decent for RVing.
One problem with the 6.2L is it is only offered in higher trim models, so payload is 1400-ish pounds or lower. Load up a big family (isn't that why you have an SUV instead of a crew cab pickup?) and you quickly eat up RV tow capacity due to restricted payload. 1400 pounds - 600 pounds of people/cargo/pets/etc leave 800 pounds which is 6k loaded RV, or right at 5000 pounds dry. Lots of power and great 6-spd gearing even with 3.42 axle.
