Towing with a Suburban
Been towing a 4500# travel trailer with 07 2500 Suburban 6.0 w/3.73 rear gears. I want to replace TT with new one weighing about 6300# dry, 1200# less then my towing limit. Current set-up pulls ok in ...

To the OP. It won’t win any races, but it will pull that trailer safely and reliably (provide the burb is in good shape of course ).
We have a fleet of mostly 2008 6.0 Chevy 2500 and 3500 trucks. They’re construction trucks so care and maintenance leaves a bit to be desired.
Haul trailers that heavy or heavier all the time with them.
Sent 1 over the pass yesterday. Trailer was probably around 12klbs. Guessing. It easily was well over 10k. Came back hooked same trailer to a different 08 and back over with another load.
For the Op, 4 speed and 3.73s isn’t the “best” 6.0 towing setup but it’ll dooo. That 6.0 will scream at whatever rpms you need to get where you’re going for many miles!
