between me and my family we have always been chevy people. imo, get the chevy with the tow package and directly head to the transmission shop and get them to beef it up and rebuild it. you wont have to worry about the engine, but the trans is crap especially if its the 4l60's

So I guess you guys are agreeing with me that if I have a truck rated to tow 7,500 to 8,000 I should be good to go. The one I'm looking at the guy said did have the trans cooler as it came that way as a 4x4 but the other guy was not sure.

cterrebonne: Are the Trans really that bad in the Surb or just that one your mentioned?

I have not had any major tranny problems with my 1998 Suburban. I did have one repair a couple years back when it was not shifting well, and I think it was only about $100. Been running fine since then with 158,000 miles on it. I have the 5.7 liter v8 with tow package and 4wd. That 4wd is very reassuring when pulling up a steep and slippery ramp.
