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. ...

Good job going to the scale and those weights look good! You are within all your ratings but running at the max.
As I said previously, I would strongly recommend a transmission temp gauge so you can keep an eye on temps... If you don't want to have a gauge installed, you can buy an inexpensive bluetooth diagnostic sender like this OBD Link MX Bluetooth. It plugs into the OBD-II port and you can monitor temps via an app on your cell phone or tablet.
Or you can swap out the gauge cluster with one for a 2500 burb or truck, your truck is already wired for a sender and the 2500 cluster gives you the OEM gauge, plug n play.
I would also recommend a Mag-Hytec extra capacity cover for the rear axle, the added capacity helps keep the temps down.
Happy camping!
