Thanks for the comments everyone, these discussions are helpful. The 2001 looks nice, but if I get another SUV it will probably be a V10 excursion. This vehicle will not be replacing our current suburban, and I have always wanted a V10. I am still looking for just the right truck, but until then, might as well see what I can do with the suburban. If I change the gears and don’t like it, I can always change them back.

I figure I will get a larger tow vehicle eventually, but for now I will continue to use the suburban. It is two wheel drive and I will change the gears myself, so it will not be as expensive as some mention. Keep the opinions comming, if nothing else, it makes for interesting conversation.
For those that suggest a new truck, post some craigslist adds, looking for something under $10,000 that can hold my family of four and tow better than my suburban, pickup preferred.

4.30 will put you right at 3000 rpm.
4.56 you are looking at 3180 rpm.
Is that where you want to be?
