Hi all,
I've had a helluva time trying to get a definitive answer on the towing capacity for a 2005 Suburban 1500. I've heard it's anywhere from 7,200 pounds to 9,000 pounds (or somewhere in between).
Assuming the capacity is at the lower end of that scale, I'm likely to be traveling at right around 7,200 pounds. Is it generally considered a bad idea to be at or near your vehicle's towing capacity? I'm sure where you're going is a factor in how to answer that question, but I'm just wondering if regularly towing my vehicle's max capacity is going to VERY prematurely kill it.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
