I have an 03 with the 3.73 gears. Towed our 8,000lbs (plus fuel/trailer) 31 ft Formula fine but that was the max. When I bought our 382 I quickly needed a bigger truck.

I have an 08 2500 suburban and pull a 35 fountain. It does a nice job but getting it moving from a stop will need a lot of right foot.
I just got back from the Oshkosh Poker run and averaged 9 mpg with the air on the entire way.

I have the same combo...35 fountain and 2008 Suburban 2500 with 3.73 gears, 6 speed transmission. Tows fine.
My understanding is the 6 speed is noticably better than the older 5 speed.
