tow with all wheel drive?
Our 94 Suburban cracked a head so were looking for a newer Suburban. Many of them seem to be all wheel drive, can you tow with those?

Well now, not necessarily.
There may be something based on real world experience that "we" know that the manufacturer isn't telling. Such as, the AWD systems not holding up well under towing conditions.
The manufacturer will happily tell you that this hypothetical AWD Tahoe is rated to tow 8500lbs, BUT they won't tell you that the transfer case goes out at around 78,000 miles when the vehicle is used to tow, for example. That's only something people with real world experience would know.
I don't know anything about it, but watching 1 youtube channel about off-road vehicles I have learned Jeep uses a form of AWD in higher HP models. And at least 1 transfer case has had issues after towing.
