1999 Suburban GCWR

you'll have to get ahold of the 1999 towing guide for that info. you can also email Chevy through their website. they've been quite helpful with towing info on my 88 k2500 pickup.

Thanks. I've done that already a couple of days ago. Just waiting for them to get back to me....

Any ideas about getting ahold of the '99 towing guide?

trailerlife.com has tow guides. if i read it right your gonnas sit at 8500 lbs

Thanks.

But my question was about the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). That is the most the Suburban AND a trailer can weigh combined when going down the road. It is a seldom sought figure--and helps out when looking at buying a travel trailer.

As a RV enthusiast, the rule of thumb is to take the GCWR of the tow vehicle, and subtract out the GVWR of it. The difference is the maximum that a pontential trailer should weigh.

I found out from Chevrolet this AM that the GCWR is 15,000 lbs. Since my GVWR is

8,600 lbs., I am looking at purchasing a trailer that has a GVWR of no more than 6,400 lbs..

That way I won't be tempted to overload the Suburban or the trailer.
