Anyone with experience towing with a Suburban
Hi, I’d like to hear from people who have experience towing a larger travel trailer with a Suburban. I have a Suburban 1500 5.3L. I want to buy the largest travel trailer my suburban can safely tow. ...

I’m not so concerned about weigh but I am concerned about length and sway
Focus on the weight. If you keep the Suburban under all its ratings, use a WDH with integrated sway control, the length and sway won't be a problem. People have towed 35+ foot 10,000+ pound TTs with 3/4 ton Suburbans quite comfortably.
You said you weighed the Suburban and came in at 5760 pounds. Your GVWR is 7000 or 7200 pounds for 2WD or 4WD. Add up the weight of the rest of the family. The rest is available for loaded trailer tongue weight.
That truck is very similar to my last TV, a 2003 F-150. It towed our 6500-ish pound TT well for two years before we wanted 3 rows of seats. If you like the 5500 pound 29' better, go for it. Get an Equal-i-zer or Reese WDH and enjoy. Change all the fluids in that truck.
