Not sure if you're talking about your K3500 or the Suburban. If you're talking about the new 1-ton Burb, you're off by quite a bit regarding GVWR.
The new Burb has a GVWR of 11,000 lbs, and a payload rating of over 4200 lbs. That means it more than doubles the payload of my '08 2500 Burb, and only adds a few hundred pounds of curb weight. And this is substantially higher than the GMT800 2500 Burbs, and even the Excursion. All the makings of a monster TV. What a shame if they don't do more with it.
Correct. You can't go to your dealer and order/buy a new one. However, they're out there if you look around. I would drive to NC tomorrow to trade in my '08 Burb if I had confirmation about the towing ability....and I don't even see an integral brake controller.
