My suburban has a 5,000lb tow rating.
The gas powered version has a 6,000lb tow rating.
My version of suburban has load range C tire, 3/4ton rear springs, an insanely over built trans monitoring, cooling and filter system, a trailer braking system (not in use with my little trailer) additional engine oil cooler and a couple of turbochargers with an intercooler.
The most I ever plan on doing with it is towing a car dolly with a car on it, which could weigh in up to 4000lb depending on the car.
That should happen at least a few times a year and it will be a long drive when it does happen, 4hr minimum. Plus numerous little car pull jobs in between.
