I am looking to buy a trailer that is about 8500lbs. I currently have a 2005 Chevy Suburban Z71, is this trailer within it's capabilities? I am having a hard time finding this information. Addition...
I had a 2005 Chevy Suburban towing a 6000 pound trailer. It towed fine for about 3 months and then the transmission got killed! I replaced the transmission with a used rebuilt, but it NEVER towed right again. 3 months after that, we sold the Surburban for our first 3500 gas duly (Silverado).
If you tow with that Suburban, make sure you NEVER tow in "over drive". And you may still kill the transmission. I advise.... don't!
