Anyone know how the older model short wheelbase Tahoes/Yukons tow compared to the longer wheelbase Suburbans?
Looks like tow capacity is similar.
We tow our RV with my 2003 Suburban 1500 and it rides and tows great, but does struggle a little in the mountains.
I am curious if the smooth ride and towing experience comes from the longer wheelbase of the Suburban.
Looking at options to replace the daily driver Expedition and also use it as our tow vehicle.
Considering searching for a 6 speed 6.0L Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban. I like the idea of the 2500 series, but very concerned about ride quality and fuel consumption, plus they are hard to find and expensive.
Looking to maintain about 9 MPG while towing, which is what I get with my Suburban.
There are a lot more options available for the 1500's.
I love my 5.3 Vortec with 4:10 gears and wouldn't hesitiate to get another, just a little undersized for mountains towing. Perhaps a 6 speed tranny helps with that.
Should I avoid the shorter wheelbase for towing?
