What is the towing capacity of a 1999 Chevy Suburban 1500?

Answer 1

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.
