What is the towing capacity of a 1999 Chevy Suburban 1500?
Your owners manual will contain the answer. If you don't have
one, a salvage yard is a good place to find one. You can also order
one from your local dealer. I've got the same question, but I know
a few more variables. Engine size and rear differential ratio will
affect towing capacity. So will other payload within the vehicle.
I've seen 6000-7500 lbs listed on other sites, so there's a range
of possibles. I got this from the Chevy website. They have vehicles
specs archived back to 1996
Suburban 1500 2WD 350 CID V-8:
Curb Weight - 4820
CVWR - 7700
Payload - 1980
Max Trailer - 6500
Suburban 2500 2WD:
Curb Weight - 5286
CVWR - 8600
Payload - 3314
Max Trailer - 10000
The 350 has 255 HP and 330 ft-lbs. 6500-7000 lbs trailer sounds
like about all you'd want to try with it.
