Default GM Dealer in Northern Virginia

I am looking for a 2003 or newer Suburban, low miles in excellent condition. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got an 03 3/4 Burb...but it's not for sale!!! If your looking to tow with it give me a call sometime for the real "skinny" on the truck.

is it up to the task or if it is a little too little? I thought about one like that instead of a dually but was not sure how well it could do the job...

The 3/4 ton Suburban tows pretty well WITH the 8.1L engine.

Forget trying to tow with the 6.0L engine.

Get the dually anyhow.

I've got the 6.0...the 8.1 would be better. Towed the Formula 312 for awhile ans the vehicle was fine for that, never felt like I needed more truck. The 382 was a different story. The truck would get it moving OK and stop it OK (good trailer brakes) but the hole package just felt loose going down the road. The concerns I had using the Burb weren't related to the motor, the whole chassis just isn't made for that much weight.

You can do it for short occasional hauls, but if you tow every weekend I don't recommend it.

BTW: I also have 3 kids, wife, and anyone else makes it tough to bring along. We did just buy a 4 door dually with the flip up center front seat to get a 6th butt in there if needed.

Do you know how hard it is to find a one owner Suburban or Yukon XL in excellent condition?
