Towing with the 2015 and up

Just curious when you say it "does ok" towing... was there something that made it more difficult? I'm looking at a similar camper and SUV setup. Trying to figure out which tows better, the pre 15 models tow or the 15+.

What rear is in your Suburban?

2007 Suburban with 171k miles. I have added Airlift 1000 airbags to the rear and I'm in the process of installing a Trucool 40k transmission cooler.

The "does ok" is I wish I had gotten a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck if I knew i was going to be towing. I got the Suburban because I wanted a Rolling Lazyboy couch I love the comfort and we didnt plan on getting a camper. Before the airbags the ride was a bit dodgy. Airbags made a huge difference. I also run them at 10Lb's when not towing and it feels better around town. The 5.3 is very under powered for this size trailer. I wish I had a 6.0 6.2 or a diesel.
In the next 2 years I'm going to be upgrading and I'm probably going to get a 1 ton dually because my wife has no plans on slowing down with camping and I want a stable platform for towing.

Have you noticed any bucking or bouncing when towing? We just got back from a trip and our '15 Yukon XL SLT was acting terribly trying to pull a 3500lb popup trailer. I've had other Tahoes and Yukons in the past with out this issue.
