Not the same exact vehicle as the other one but again I think this one is a 1985-1988 C1500 |

Why a [C-1500]? |

I've got to agree with ford_guy. I'd think the C-20 would be better for towing this trailer. |

The Suburban C-10 (rear-wheel drive, ½-ton) could muscle an 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) braked trailer, with Suburban C-20 (rear-wheel drive, ¾-ton) being able to tow a 9,500 lb (4,310 kg) braked trailer. Both 10 and 20 series Suburbans were available with the same towing equipment (heavy-duty automatic gearbox fluid cooler, Class IV weight distributing hitch, etc.). Four-wheel drive Suburbans towed less due to the added weight of the 4x4 system. 4x4s will almost always tow less than their rear-drive only counter parts. Its funny the Suburban could tow 8,000 lbs back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, but yet the current Suburban and other GM SUVs barley claim such capability. The outgoing Escalade sports an 8,000 lb tow rating, sad isn’t it? |

I'm reading Chevy's official website right now, and they're boasting that the current 1/2 ton Suburban tows an 8,100 lb trailer, and the 3/4 ton Suburban tows a 9,600 lb trailer. http://www.chevrolet.com/vehicles/2011/suburban1-2ton/overview.do http://www.chevrolet.com/vehicles/2011/suburban3-4ton/overview.do Sadly though, they're not calling them Suburban C/K-1500/2500's anymore... or even just Suburban 1500/2500's. -- Last edit: 2011-01-17 16:21:16 |
