I am looking to buy a trailer that is about 8500lbs. I currently have a 2005 Chevy Suburban Z71, is this trailer within it's capabilities? I am having a hard time finding this information. Addition...
Look for a lighter trailer. 8500 is over weight. I have a 1500 Burb 4x4 and my official limit is 8200, 8400 for the 2x4. But still, you're better off looking at a 6000lb trailer. If you try to make do with an 8500lb trailer you'll be hatin life a bunch. I've heard people say they have done it OK but, I can't imagine how. There are some nice TTs under 6000 that have a slide, etc.. You'll manage that pretty well. Get yourself some Timbren bumpers for the rear end.
