What has 3 rows and can pull 9K?
Kinda sounds like a grade-school riddle, right? We recently purchased a trailer with a GVWR of 7700 pounds, and are looking for our next tow vehicle. (No rush yet, we won't need it until spring.) W...

Dave, I'm waiting for the new 2018 Ford Expedition looks awesome a real
Suburban killer. Its rated well over your requirements with 3 seats.
Not intending to be a pessimist here but the only statement I could find is that there is a Ford claimed "best in class towing" statement about the 2018 Ford Expedition. No where are max payload or towing capacity numbers to know if this is still going to be 1/2-ton capacities or higher. I do hope Ford is giving the capability of 3/4-ton range but only time will tell.
3/4 ton carrying capacity would require stiffer suspension, which soccer mommies and daddies will not like. So I doubt it will be much. Although a 2k lb CCC would be very good.
I never understood that. My 2500 Burb rides beautifully. No one ever comments on the ride being too harsh or stiff. Stock suspension, tires inflated at 50F/71R per the max inflation door tag, and Bilstein 4600 shocks.
The 2018 Expy a "Suburban killer?" Not likely, especially compared to the '13 and older 2500. It's still a half-ton, with semi-floater axles. I'll take my 10,000-lb 10.5" full floater, TYVM.
Still a bit confused why the 2016 3500HD Burb has such a low tow rating. Found a really nice '16 totally optioned out - leather, nav, rear DVDs, sunroof, etc. for $84,900. Honestly, if it actually had some decent towing rating, I'd be trading in my '08 2500.
