Re: [A/S] tow vehicle advice

Llysa,
I purchased an ex-Airforce 1987 3/4 ton 2wd Diesel Suburban last summer to
pull our 59 Ambassador International. It had only 22,000 miles on it, seats
9 passengers in great comfort, has early 70's styling, AC and gets great
mileage. It was originally a 6.2 liter Diesel, naturally aspirated engine.
It was quite slow on the hills so I added a Banks "Sidewinder" turbo (Banks
supplied GM with this system in the late 80's & early 90's). It now has
enough power to pull through the Rockies. Your 22' is somewhat lighter than
what I am pulling so you probably wouldn't need the turbo, however it is
very nice. From what I understand there is a glut of used Suburban's in
Texas and maybe Arizona. Why don't you check out availability in those areas
and pick one up when you go to pick up the trailer?
