[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2761474, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]I suggest going to a GM dealer and having them look at the data plate at the door and see what the weight capacities are for the Suburban. However, with that old of a truck, I'm not sure whether they will have the data or will have to contact the factory. As for owner's manuals, I'm leery of their information. Shadowrider mentioned GVWR, which is the weight capacity of only the truck and its contents, including passengers, pets, fuel, and any cargo in the towing vehicle. What you want to find out on the Suburban is its GCVW (Gross Combined Vehicular Weight.) That will be the weight of both the tow vehicle and trailer with all people, pets, fuel and stuff in both the Suburban and trailer. That's a weight you don't want to exceed. I prefer to have a tow vehicle that has some "breathing room" on its weight capacities, but you have seen our trailer, so you know why. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
