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 just towed the travel trailer from Idaho to California, 836 miles in total including crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains. The trailer and Suburban were loaded with us and all our gear. It did just fine. No issues, no trailer sway and had sufficient power.
It changed down gears going up the mountains and I came down in second. I only traveled at 55mph going up the mountains and could have gone faster but 55mph is the limit in California towing a trailer. Traveled faster through Nevada.
I reckon the k2500 would be superior. The k1500 I have has plenty of power for what I want to do however if I wanted to drive a lot faster out of state I would like a better suspension.
As the first RV I've owned, so far I really like it. Planning to take out for a long weekend this month.
Thanks again for all the advice.
