We want a Suburban/Yukon to pull it. We're told to get a 2500, which are hard to find in decent condition. then I see some 1500's such as a Yukon Denali with a 6.0 v8 and a 3.73 rear have a higher towing capacity than some 2500's - I'm confused
No problem pulling that with a Yukon. We pull a TT with empty weight of 6800b (roughly 7800b loaded) 31' with a new Yukon and it's within the weight. You should have no problem at all. The saying is you can never have too much truck, which I agree, however a 2500 is not necessary at all for that light of a camper and from experience I don't think you will even see a benefit from a 3/4 with that kind of weight. Yukon max tow rating is something like 8400b and 1000 lb tongue weight. Hook it up, drive safe, and enjoy your vacations!
