we used to occasionally tow a pretty good sized fountain with a suburban...had to be really careful when stopping and also tore the transmission up a couple of times...

of course, SUVs were a little heavier made back then (350 CID engines, etc.)...

anyway, if you are only towing a couple of times per year, you should be able to manage...

A suburban with a 350 and today's are pretty different. I'd say anything up to 8-9k lbs is absolutely comfortable with a modern half ton set up for towing. Be smart with your right foot and whatever it's rated for is comfortable. Some are up around 12k pounds I believe.
