tow vehicle confusion

We have a Jayco 26 ft TT, 4600 lbs dry, less than 6000 lbs loaded
We want a Suburban/Yukon to pull it. We're told to get a 2500, which are hard to find in decent condition. then I see some 1500's such as a Yukon Denali with a 6.0 v8 and a 3.73 rear have a higher towing capacity than some 2500's - I'm confused
  • All about the optioning from GM. Different rear end ratios as well as design, different brake groups, different powertrains, two wheel or four wheel drive, heavy duty cooling or not, and so-on.

    Just be conscious of the ratings of the exact configuration you are buying. You can pretty much find every year of GM towing guide on the internet to give you a guidance for ratings versus model and options.

    Have been towing a long time with 3 different 3/4-ton Suburbans/Yukon XL and they are great TVs!
