Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions
Marky, you seem to be asking the questions right before I get to them! I was looking online last night for new hitch units and there are none online that are made for the 3500 Suburban. I will have to upgrade it, but may need to go to the local trailer dealer and have them take a crack at it. I...- Bigburb3500

Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions
Thank you BacDoc for the reply. I am also looking for boat towing duty with this truck. I did not buy it to fit the tow duty but rather “perfect storm” purchase. I am hoping we can all come to an internet consensus that tow rating it more in the 13-14k range… you know everything you read on the...- Bigburb3500

Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions
This link is super helpful by itself. Thank you! My wife and will also be happy to see we have the optional inboard driver/passenger airbag as safety was part of the reason behind getting a newer vehicle (been rocking around in a ‘99 Toyota). I have not weighed it yet. This truck still has...- Bigburb3500

Correct. L96/6L90 combo. 4.10 rear with G80. The GVWR listed in the door jam is 11k. Payload 4740 so I agree with your assessment. The factory tow hitch is showing max 10k - this may be an issue if we decide it can tow similar figure of a gas 3500 srw pickup. I have been looking around, but do...- Bigburb3500

Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions
Thank you Marky. I think you might be seeing my question. The 3500 was only rated by GM to tow 3000lbs but that seems appropriate when it’s armored and geared up for govt use. In a non-armored, civilian use what type of towing is possible? I think your second statement is for a standard...- Bigburb3500

massage option
Hello My16tahoe, I have been looking into this as well but from what I have seen to put in Escalade Platinum seats with massage it requires an entire bcm reprogramming. The massage function works through the entertainment system and it not just on the seat. May be better to just buy an Amazon...- Bigburb3500

Hello All, I recently purchased a 2018 Suburban 3500 and have no clue what I’m dealing with here. I am dangerous enough but as I go through the truck there are a lot of oddities I need help with figuring out. 1) The tow capacity is listed at 3000lbs. This is a non-armored unit and shows a...- Bigburb3500
