Tow with a 3/4 Ton Suburban? - You Are a Menace to Society.

[LargeOrangeFont]

The 5 in South OC now. Should have bought a Freightliner or an F150.

 

[CLdrinker]

Driver is more important than what tow vehicle you have.
For all we know he could have got hit causing him to crash.

All of the towing professionals will be along shortly to set us all straight.

 

[HCP3]

Damn. That guy is having a real bad day.

 

[Havaduner]

The Tesla driver was on autopilot, updating his FB status when he ran into the Suburban!

 

[lbhsbz]

I wonder what body shop it'll go to....I could use an 8.1L to swap into my truck

 

[OC Mike]

Damn. That guy is having a real bad day.

Yup.....

 

[69hondo]

I tow with a half ton suburban.

 

[boatpi]

Well there is one less three-quarter ton suburban on the road to worry about now that one is a total.

 

[attitude]

The burban probably doesn’t have sway control like this guy does.

F150 would have been a better choice.

Towed with a 3/4 BBC Sub for years, loved it! My bet here is either got cut off or Haulig Ass...

That’s aggressive!!!!

 

[HST4ME]

looks like it got plugged in the drivers side big time.

 

[RCDave]

A 650 would have eliminated all accident probabilities.....

 

[rivermobster]

That crash is racist.

I'm looking to add a hitch to my bus so that I can pull a mini cooper. I hope its safe enough.

Damn near ought to be able to park that in the belly of the bus.

No, “safe enough” is never a status that can be attained as it relates to towing under this oppressive regime.

what if my bus gets a covid vaccine?

I was next to some chic in a Tesla. She was on her tablet not paying any attention to the road. Tesla auto pilot!!!! BS !

Was “she” on the 40 with a RDP hat on this afternoon?

 

[Boatymcboatface]

Ppfffffff my friend tows 13000lbs with his half ton suburban! Not joking.

 

[Rexone]

I have towed with 3/4 ton suburbans for 40 years.

 

[glamis0812]

I used to tow a 30’ WW toy hauler with my 2500 8.1 sub with 39.5 tires, the power was fine but the stopping sucked. Nowadays it stays in Havasu and is the boat launcher.

 

[BigRedBryan]

Hmmmm.... my 3/4 ton does alright... just gotta move the ford a little farther up on the trailer...

That bus would tow a Mack Truck.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Lol It is interesting hearing the brakes sucked on these 3/4 Sub Tubs... they had the same brakes as the the Duramax 2500HDs of the same vintage that everyone here knowingly tows over the 10,500# tow limit with.

And every modern half ton truck has bigger, more robust brakes than these old 3/4 ton Suburbans.

 

[motormonkey]

Just want to say I never had a brake problem in my 2500 yukon. Even when my trailer brakes had a small issue.
I also pass F150 like it's race day towing.

 

[brgrcru]

Probably towing 75 in the car pool
lane

My braking issues were from giant tires but I was used to it and wasn’t anything where I felt unsafe.

Yes they do.
12.4 mm larger.

Was that over at the 5&133? Was about to jump on the 5nb at the Alton on-ramp and saw the north bound lanes at a stop. Had to head south and take the Ortega home. I was wondering what the hell had happened

 

[rivermobster]

Yes they do.

Massive! LoL

Always wondered if there actually was any difference, or it was just something LOF read online someplace. Like...

How about a Porsche Cayenne?

Hmm, rich and stupid...

Extremely.

 

[74 spectra20 v-drive]

Oh come on, he has all the horse power he needs in that Porsche to tow that trailer plus he has a 6,000 # GVWR . I love hearing people say that, you know its more about stopping the load then being able to pull it. We were at a launch ramp once and this guy with an Audi SUV rolls up with a big ass Cobalt the doors open and it a freaking circus act as people come pouring out of that car like a clown car. I looked at my boys and they were shaking there heads, one had his phone out and was looking to see how under rated that this was. Holy shit people put so much at risk just being stupid.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Yes they do.

Wrong again Dan’l.

Without actually telling you how big each of the brakes are, I’d love for you to tell me how 16” wheels fit on a 15 year old 3/4 ton GM truck and they won’t fit on a new 1/2 ton with “smaller” (actually bigger) brakes.

I’ve spent plenty of time wrenching on mid 2000s 3/4 ton GM trucks. Everything under a modern half ton is bigger aside from the rear axle. That is why a modern 1/2 ton has the same tow rating.

A 3/4 ton Suburban is only rated to to 9600 lbs. Can’t wait to hear how the towing police will dance around that one

Yes the F-150 brakes are bigger.
That's all I said.

I've seen your rig at Windsor before, badass setup, I need a hood like yours on my truck.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

I can’t find documentation anywhere that states it is over 10,000, but one guy on a forum said it went to 12,000 only if you had 4.10s.

And people whine about fuel mileage
