TOWING A HEAVY TRAILER WITH MY 1995 GMC SUBURBAN K1500 OVER 2000+ MILES

Thank you for highlighting when you cruising on 2nd gear uphill! I have a 95 Chevy c2500 5.7 3.73 gears I haul a slide in camper weighs around 2500lbs wet. You gave me an idea you can drive around 40-50mph on 2nd!

Just towed a car (7000 lbs combined trailer and car) and fully loaded with cargo inside from California to Indiana 2300 miles in my 1997 suburban. Truck did great and didn’t even bat an eye. I have 256k on the clock with original motor and trans.

[@kermitmidthun4306]

I've got a 1994 GMC Suburban K1500 with 237,000 miles on the clock, been in the family since new, engine never opened. I have used it to pull heavy boats between MD and FL and it runs strong. Always been maintained, no major issues. Has needed a starter in 4014, alt. in 2010, a water pump and power steering pump this year, a transmission rebuild in 2010. Runs strong and is a daily driver to work. A solid truck. The only mod is shorty stainless steel headers and true dual exhaust, this made a huge difference and it felt like the power doubled. It was kind of a dog until I did this. Totally recommended if you have one of these or similar trucks.

[@chimera7817]

Been a few years since you left that comment, I have a 95 K2500 suburban 350 TBI only differences slight changes to frame and a 4L80 transmission. I’m gonna be a boat from from Arizona to California this summer, I got 215 on the clock and I’m just now doing a radiator other than that no issues. How did yours do with the boat?

My 2003 Suburban has been one of the best investments I've ever made. Right up there with my fishing boat. It has done everything I've ever asked it to. Hauling maxed out trailers, flat towing vehicles. Hauling boys scouts to events. Safely and reliably. The brake lines blew out and I had to nurse it home 500+ miles... NO PROBLEMS. Water pump and front wheel bearings are the only other repairs. I service the fluids myself

[@chrisreed26]

A low mileage Suburban like that is a true gem! You see these with over 300K miles all the time! That "Burb will last you a long time! My sister and family swore by them for many years..I remember I had to use her 94 Suburban back in 1995 in Jax,FL and I loved it! It was smooth as a Cadillac..She would give the old one to one of her kids and buy a new model every few years..then about 2005 she left the Chevy family and started buying Range Rover's...

[@raybanz6686]

i have a 1999 chevy suburban vortec 5.7l. it has 114 k miles on it. i have cold air intake, headers, new intake and fuel rails, cammed true duals out back. sits on 33s with a leveling kit. i put a heavy duty trans cooler on it. i beefed up the rear suspension and beefy tow package. i have towed 8,000 pounds with it going 60. also yanked some trees out. i towed 5,000 pounds 2,500 milea from NJ to AZ in 3 days and the truck did me good and ran good. i bought the truck 5 years ago for 800$. paint was in great shape body was in great shape. but the frame rails behind both front wheels were rotted out had to back plate them and weld them up. only thing holding the frame together was a 1/4 peice of rotted steel on both side.

Hauled that same size trailer loaded front to back including a baby grand piano from Renton WA to San Fran (little over 800 miles) with a fully loaded, front to back 2000 Chrysler Town and Country mini-van with a 230 cubic inch V6. No problem. Mileage went from 20+ on the freeway to about 14 on the flat and 9 or there about on the hills.

thejuiceisloose 00 always tow in gear 3 when towing a trailer, and use tow/haul if you have it. i towed a 7000 pound toy hauler with my 99 tahoe z71, gear 3 at 55mph coasting the whole time, didnt even feel it back there those 5.7s are work horses

@Queen Melanin 3rd GEAR. Overdrive is considered anything over 3rd gear (4th and 5th gear) generally I believe

[@javaman2883]

A 6x12 can't be that heavy unless you filled it with bricks or something. I moved using a 8x18 cargo trailer, took a few trips, but each was really full. It did great, even with the 6% grades and 115 temps in central AZ.

I'll bet the total trailer weight w/cargo was under #4500. Those 6 x12s don't have a high GVWR at all.

[@StrykerWolf92]

I also have a 1995 C1500 Suburban and I've towed a 4000 lb car with a 2000lb trailer a couple times. Handles it like a champ. My temp gauge also is towards the low end. The only thing that scares me is that my oil pressure likes to stay around 60 psi at idle which is high and rarely dips down to 40 psi which is normal. I've been using synthetic 5-30 and mine has 165K.

A little late for me to reply to this comment. But I have a 1998 GMC 3500 with 350 Vortec, and towed multiple vehicles with it, and it does pretty good.

[@x-man5056]

Suggestions: 1. If your vehicle is going to be parked for an extended period, put the appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer in the gas with a full tank before you park it. Make sure you've driven it for several miles to get the stabilized fuel through out the fuel system. 2. On electronic fuel injected engines (EFI), when you first try to restart the vehicle after after sitting a week or more, first turn the key to ON for about 15-20 seconds before going to START. This allows the fuel system to prime and fully pressurize before trying to start.

[@Mementomori.93]

@@Mementomori.93 Sorry Lugo, I thought you were talking about a motorcycle (I get a lot of those questions). If you feel like it will get to the shop, it's worth a shot to drive it. Not keen on running old gas through it but it will need some TLC anyway.

THANKS !!

[@RockyMountainWest13]

I’ve heard mixed reviews about towing those 6’x12’ uhaul trailers. I’ve seen here on KZbin a guy saying they’re way too heavy for their size and they suck to town but my uncle said he used one from Colorado to Oklahoma and it wasn’t bad at all. I’m moving back to Colorado from Texas in a few months and am wondering about this trailer.

[@BestLittleStudio]

I pulled a 20 foot enclosed trailer that was loaded down to 10k pounds as weighed at the weigh station. It was a 95 GMC suburban with 200k miles on it, 5.7 liter, V8 C1500. It did well, it pulled it to the parking lot I needed it to pull it too, about 2 miles away, but that was a very large load for the old girl. The one you are pulling? Nothing, absolutely nothing for the old girl especially if yI have the trans cooler on there. That 4L60E on it is a beast.

It protects prevents sludge liquefies sludge protects all moving components cleans fuel injectors breaks up carbon on pistons cleans intake and exhaust valves makes engine way smoother better gas milage I could on mmo been around since Moses walked the earth with his staff it's not just for high mileage engine full of god knows what it's to maintain high mileage engines from getting god knows what I have a 2003 ram 1500 with a 4.7 Magnum has 246000 miles runs flawless I get easy 17 to 18 miles to the gallon and I don't care if you believe me either you don't have to sell mmo it sells itself proofs in the bottle try it.

For some reason, 4th and 5th gear isn't made to support towing capacities. I just drove from Colorado to Florida with a Chevy E3500 pulling a tandem axle 16' enclosed trailer. I made the mistake of using drive/overdrive and the engine seemed fine pulling it at first, but after several hours, eventually a light came on the dash that said Service Engine Soon. The whole driveshaft underneath the vehicle was getting so hot, it was radiating up through the bottom of the van. Supposedly it would not have gotten so hot if I would have had it in 3rd the whole time

I have a 95 chevy c2500 hauling my 2500lbs camper always on 3rd gear my only worry is my rpm stays at 3k at 55mph on a 65mph speed limit so I have to switch to OD when straight flat
