Thanks NEM, any idea what kind of numbers we are talking about?
I would think the suburban if a 2500 4x4 would be heavier, no?

The 2500 was the one with the 8' bed so i was HEAVY. I used to get average 18-19 highway empty, 10-12 towing the boat and about 13-14 city.

That van most likely has 4.10 gears as I believe they only offer the 6.0L with 3.73's in the 1500HD pick-ups and VORTEC MAX. The 6.0L is one tough motor from what I have seen so far with little to no problems with them. Being an 09 that one probably has the new 6 speed tranny in it that came out in 07 and has proven itself to work nicely. I've never owned one, but realistically I would expect anywhere from 12-15 highway MPG's at 70 depending upon how it's loaded down. I know the 6 speed has helped the milage out on em quite a bit.

I did check the tag, it has 3:73's in it, locking diffrential, I am considering it as a replacemnt for my F250 Super Duty 4x4. Truck is OK but I need a change, don't care for the ride at all and it is not comfortable with five in it even with the extended cab. The seating in the rear has room but no ability to adjust the back and combined with the ride makes long trips with the family tough.
This van will tow anything I will ever own with ease. I do wish I could have four wheel drive but even with my hunting I rarely need to use it. I think the locking rear would help a lot at boat ramps but not as good as the 4x4. It has to get better mileage than my F250, especially on the highway.

I just checked the specs, it comes with the 4 HD Auto trans with OD and the 3.73 rear was standard with the 4.10 as an option
