    We towed a 2007 Z-71 suburban for years and loved it... upgraded to the 2015 Suburban and love it too... you won't even know it's back there... go for the comfort and safety of your family !!

    Cheers, Diane

    Ended up getting a 2015 Ford Transit 10 passenger low roof van. Having a Remco Driveline Disconnect installed. I'm stoked it's the same weight and length as and newer burb and about the same price for a 2015

    I think u made a good choice and u have actually added a good tool as well. Since I have switched to the "van" I love it and have never looked back.

    Congrats! That seemed like a great choice, if towable.

    Thanks guys! It's been great! Actually passed on the 10-passenger low roof because nobody makes a bracket for that van yet. I bought the 15 passenger medium roof T350 with the Ecoboost V6. A foot and a half longer but hasn't been an issue. We're in Micco, FL and just got it back from Palm Bay Ford. They had to replace an A/C line that was cut by the installer during the tow bracket installation. That guy was a nightmare by the way. Steer your friends away from Humphrey's Hitch in Pensacola. Guy is straight out of the movie Deliverance. I had the shop check over the rest of the work he did and luckily it looked ok. Still have a PTO cable to install which I picked up from NAPA. The stock flimsy one will barely re-engage the collar on the driveshaft disconnect. It tows beautifully behind the bus though.
