What rearend does your current Suburban have? If it tows OK and the one close has the same one go for it. We traded a 13 Suburban with the Z71 package in on our 2016 LT with Max Tow. I believe the rearend in the 13 was not the 3.42 that the 16 has. I can check in the am. The only complaint I have is the rear carpeted area behind the third row. It angles back towards the rear and if you are parked on an incline stuff slides out. Very noticeable on the boat ramp this was discovered on the first outing, ugh.

New towing vehicle
We just have the 3.08 in our 2010. It tows ok and we haven't had any major issue except once when engine got hot on the freeway. It was better when we slowed down. We do not have an engine or transmission cooler on our 2010 like the new ones.

The new expeditions dwarf the 5.3 v8 in the tahoe when it comes to towing capacity. The ecboost makes 365 hp and 420 lbft of torque at only 2500 rpm and with the max trailer tow package they can pull 9200 lbs in any axle configuration. We have the 3.15 ratio in our 2015 and it pulled our 08 LSV to Arkansas and back from Houston with ease, much better than my dodge Hemi did. Also if you opt for the load leveling rear suspension it uses nivomat shocks to level so you dont have an air compressor to ride level height sensors to go bad on you. The max trailer tow package on the expedition comes with the trailer brake controller, upgraded oil cooler, and upgraded trans cooler.David

Don't get me started on the Yukon. It has a new warranty issue every week. It is a dog compared to the ecoboost. Having owned a f150 eco vs a 5.3 Yukon there is no comparison. I've been given more excuses as to why the yukon constantly searches for the right gear, slips, clanks, bangs, doesnt go anywhere when you push the completely disconected gas pedal ect. than I care to count. We will be getting a 2018 expedition when they come out.

Would the expedition pull an SE?

Yes, the only thing with all the SUVs is the max load carrying trailer capacity is 6,000 lbs. To achieve more than that you are SUPPOSED to go weight distributing. I know they make weight distributing hitches for pole tongues with surge brakes but they are pricey. I dont think you can get away from this by switching manufacturers either. I think Ford, Chevy, and GMC all have similar restrictions.
Russell, you just got that Mojo, looking at getting an SE now?David

While no 1/2 ton is ideal for a SE I'm sure Robert and I agree Ford has the most robust 1/2 ton available, him with Dodge experience and me with GM experience.

For accurate comparisons sake .... ya'll are referencing a 5.3 that GM hasn't used in a couple years, right?
