Is the suburban the best TOAD for a family of 9?

[9pauls]

We are a family of 9, so ive been looking at a used 9 pax suburban as a tow vehicle. Is a newer, say 05+ 4WD the way to go? Planning to spend some time on the East coast, the wind our way accross thru TX and on up the west coast to AK. Thanks for any input.

You will not go wrong with that pick you can go all the way to about a 13 then they get creative with the electric ast sterring I tow an 12 Avalanche and its the simplest vehicle to tow, just put transfer switch in N and away you go no speed or distance restrictions plus it a good rideing truck.

Ya know there is a bigger choice out there with so much more room it's almost uncomparable.

A maxi van is 15 passangers and lots more room for "stuff". Would be a bit more involved than a 4by4 to set up to tow.

Good choice, especially given your journey to Alaska. Otherwise and as a possible alternative, I wonder if the new Ford Transits are flat towable. You can't go wrong with a 4W drive Suburban or Tahoe XL, as I believe they were branded for a few years.

Colorado bus used to pull a class b motorhome for a toad. Total personal preference type choice anything under the sun these days.

Will prob stick with the burb. I wish transits were flat tow able since that is what we were going to get anyways down the road.
