The 8.6K GVWR sits higher than the 7.xK GVWR Suburban because the frame is about
2 inches taller and the suspension is also of higher ratings
Wish there was a +9K GVWR Suburban. I'd seriously consider trading/selling my Sub
for that...must have a decent gasser too. Truly wish for a big block...but am in
the minority
Like APT says, an iron block 6.2L would be the bare min for me.
Why I'll keep mine till the wheels fall off
As for a possible 8.6K GVWR Suburban...a wonderful indication that there is hope
for the marketing folks at GM's SUV division
But...it will most likely be too 'car' like for me and again, am in the vast minority there
Another way to tell, albeit difficult, is to check out the diff pumpkin, but with
the spare down there it is tough to see more than just the lower portion
Betcha GM will keep that POS receiver. Have figured out HOW2 install a traditional
receiver, but none of the folks I know who has one is willing...as they don't
tow heavy
