I have owned 2 Suburban 2500's and loved them. One of the trucks I have had with the least issues (exp for hot start) from the factory.
Many replace the leaky OEM injectors with newer Bosch's if they become a problem.

Went out to setup the hitch for the new to us TV, but ended up bringing the TT home for a good wash. Tows great for a 16 yo truck [emoticon]

Thanks dmax_83, I picked mine up at Lynch in Burlington.

looks like we're close. I'm in Powers Lake.

Very close - I'm just down the road in Burlington. This will be our first full summer with the TT and have a few trips planned but we still like the spur of the moment local weekends out at Bong Rec. The park is growing up nicely.

We camp at Bong several times a year, it's a nice park and it's close to home.

TV is a 2000 Ford Box Van that has a built in Onan generator, 40 gal Water tank and Karcher pressure washer, Air compressor with 5 gallon air tank. To tow the toy hauler I had to instal a F450 hitch with custom made brackets and cut access through the custom stainless bumper plus put on Air Bags. Hitch and air bags were done to raise the hitch 4 inches to stop occasionally dragging the tongue on pavement

Since Webshots is history along with most of my pics, here's a condensed album of my tow vehicles pulling the camper of the day.

Ford by FAR has been the best tow vehicles over the Nissans. The current F150 w/5.0L is the best and most powerful TV I've had.

Nice looking and functional combination. Can't say I see to many trucks as yours, with such a short wheelbase. Short trailer does good with short wheelbase.

Thanks Mike. We selected the truck and trailer combo before we bought either one. Just my wife and I so we really didn't need a larger trailer. The truck is the best of both worlds, it pulls the trailer well and gets an honest 18/27 mpg without the trailer. The trailer is 21.5' and 3800# dry. Winnebago builds a very high quality unit and it is loaded with the good stuff.
