Tow vehicle question

[MJHSupra]

Read an article on the 2021 Tahoe and Suburban.
3.0 diesel option, but no real details on trans and rear end.

Nice looking ride.

You guys do realize this says 5,261 kg right?

That's something like 11,000lbs without pulling out a calculator.

I think you're all fine towing with that hitch

As to the original question.... I have a 13 FX4 with the Ecoboost and it is a beast towing. It out-tows the 3/4 tone 6.0 Gas Silverado I used to have hands down and no question out towed the Tahoe 5.3 I traded in for it all the while it gets well over 13mpg doing it. Besides it is loaded to the gills with heated/cooled seats, backup camera etc and in my opinion looks fantastic with the all painted bumpers etc. No chrome = Cool in 2019.

If I needed something to fit more passengers I would be all over a new Expedition with the Ecoboost. I am however interested in some of these new diesel options available on some of the half ton trucks out there!

You might want to read that tag a little closer.

When towing a boat, you use the “Weight Carrying” rating.

Using “weight distributing” gear on a boat would be impossible.

The new Z71 Tahoe and Suburban look great but will not come with the diesel. The lift is done with a new air ride system and an independent rear suspension. The non Z71 will be available with the diesel.

Is it me, or after the KG number, doesn't it literally says the weight in pounds? lol

Sorry I’m late to this one!
Don’t forget about the ol Excursion! I just bought my wife an 05 6.0 Limited to replace my ‘17 2500 Cummins (long story)... it’s rated to tow 11k, and has a good payload if you remember it’s basically an F250 underneath. The GVWR was neutered for soccer mom duties back in the day for insurance purposes.
They’re still out there, lots of lower mileage ones with decent prices, and creature comfort wise they’re not far off newer trucks. It checked all the boxes for us. Now I’ve just gotta learn how to work on a Powerstroke lol
