Upgraded from my 2500 Burb
Two years ago we bought a bigger boat. After one tandem pull, we decided that it was too big to pull behind the 5er, so I bought a 2003 2500 Burb with the 8.1. The idea was to use it to pull the boa...

Strictly for towing, I would want every advantage that the 2500 Suburban chassis offers... stable rear leaf spring suspension, thicker material thickness of the frame, heavier duty rear axle, etc. The cost to "upgrade" to a lighter duty version in order to only gain 2 mpg fuel economy would never pay for itself in the short or long term, especially with the added cost of an extra warranty. Unless gas shot up to $10 per gallon.
However, for primary use as a daily driver, the loss of heavy duty components in exchange for the greater comfort of lighter duty, more car like hardware makes a lot of sense. I'll bet your wife is much happier with the trade... and as the old saying goes, happy wife, happy life!
