Towing with 09 Suburban
#1
We just picked up a 2009 1500 Suburban with a 5.3 and 3.42 gears as my wife's daily driver. Would this pull a 36 Outlaw? We have no plans on doing so, just curious if it could?

I towed a 38 Formula (similar size) with a 3/4 suburban with 3.73 gears and the 6.0 motor. After a couple 30 mile tows I went out and bought a dually ASAP. It was a white knuckle ride with the 3/4 ton, that 1/2 ton is going to be a disaster waiting to happen if you try to leave the neighborhood with it.

I have a 2006 Dodge dually SLT with just over 70,000 miles on it. Bone stock 5.9L, six speed manual, 3.73 axle. Nothing but full synthetic oil. Only used the gooseneck one time. Never towed over 7000lbs on the receiver. It will tow that Baja no problem.
PM me if you want to discuss it further.

Have you bought the boat yet? I would strongly suggest you get a used Dodge 5.9 or Ford 6.4 dually.
