Re: [A/S] 94 Burb
You will be happier with a 3/4 truck. Two examples:
One relative used to tow his SOB with a 1/2 ton Suburban. Even with a sway
bar, he got blown around by the 18-wheelers. He later traded for a 3/4 ton
Suburban, and was extremely pleased at much easier life was while towing.
Another relative bought a 3/4 ton Suburban to tow his Airstream. Later, he
purchased another Suburban of the 1/2 ton variety. It was relegated to
towing his boat as he could tell it could not compete with the 3/4 ton
suspension/tires for towing a travel trailer on the open road.
In both cases, the relatives stuck with the 3/4 trucks because of the
suspension & tires. The bigger motors also made things easier, but they
were more like icing on the cake.
I followed their lead.
