http://www.duramaxsuburban.com/ will build you a Duramax Suburban though, but its not cheap. I looked into it for my 2500 Avalanche... briefly; VERY brief!

I can wait for late 07 if the DA and Ally are in the Sub

I have a 3/4t sub, with 4:10 gears and the 6.0L I love it. The gas mileage sucks, 11.3 to 12 on average.

Before you buy a 3/4 ton Suburban/Yukon for towing, check if the frame is one piece. If it is, like the 2000 I had, the frame will bend if you're rear ended and you'll end up having to replace it. The frame is over $7,500 and will total it after you add up all the labor. Pick-ups have repairable frames (they have weld points). Get a Duramax crew cab.

I special ordered my 2500HD with 6.0L and 4:10 gear. If I did it over now I would definately go 8.1L, Allison and 3:73 gear.
The mileage is hardly neglegible between the 6.0L and 8.1L but the power is tremendous.

The 8.1 gets about 11.5-12 mpg either 3.73 or 4.10 ratios.
