Re: Anyone with experience towing with a Suburban
We've been towing alot with this setup (and no sway control or sway problems). Keep it to 6000lbs and 25' and you should be fine. Could use more power but otherwise it is great. Biggest thing that helped was changing the tires from P rated to 8ply LT's. 1984 Prowler 28st (25' box) Trailer is right around 5300lbs with fresh water tank filled (50gallons) and our bikes and gear for a family of 5. The WDH was given to me by my dad and is about 35 years old. It is a fixed head and the bars are on the second chain link to get the front end back down (the snap up brackets slide a bit on tight turns). 2005 Tahoe, 5.3l, 3.73 ratio diffs, 4x4, Nivomat self leveling rear shocks, transmission built for towing, Toyo Open Country A/T II 8ply LTs, 240,000kms.5.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Towed 55,000lbs with 135hp today
Had a bit more fun today. All the tractors were in the field and had to move full wagons 12,000kg around the farm to unload. Clutch was gone on the farm truck so I used my tahoe. 4 Low came in handy today. No sway control or WDH used, lol ;)444Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towed 55,000lbs with 135hp today
Totally legal here in Ontario. 10 Metric tonnes of soybeans in each wagon. First tractor had a mechanical on the way to the field and the replacement tractor handled the weight no problem. 20mph max when loaded and 16 gears to keep the speed in check. Drove the big boy today hauling 20 tonnes in the buggy back out of the field all day.306Views0likes0Comments
