Does anyone have any history on the Suburban 2500? I did a bit of research and am getting conflicting information. Thought I would come here to the brain trust for the correct info.

Thanks!

My understanding is that they started with the 6th generation ('67-'72) and ended with the 10th generation in 2013. Mine is a 2003 with 8.1 engine and 4.10 ratio, which gives it a GVWR of 8600 lb, 12,000 lb towing capacity and 2800 lb payload.

A gas guzzling beast I bet. Plus, gas isn't as cheap here in Oregon as it is in many other states.

Not sure I understand what you mean by what kind, @wjburken

As for year, I guess the newer the better. Just looking for something that can haul a good amount but is still good on the highway ride wise. Not looking for economy lol.

The 8.1L with 4.10's sounds like fun!

What sort of historical information are you looking for? What conflicting information have your come across that you would like clarification on?
