| Trailer Life Features Airstream/Suburban
The latest issue of Trailer Life features a 2500 Suburban and a 28W Airstream Safari in their test review this month.
The thing that struck me most is their indictment of quadrasteer not being available in the 8.1 liter engine option due to supposed weaknesses in the quad system, and also the anemic performance of the Suburban in towing the 28 saying that, as this one was equipped, it would be much more suited for pulling a 25ft at most. They also ctitisized GM for failing to include towing mirrors into the towing package of a receiver hitch and heavy duty tranny cooler.
The primary critisism of the Airstream was quality of interior design and construction, and the small 35 gal fresh water capacity.
All in all in interesting read.
Just confirms to me though that if you are 28 or larger, diesel is the way to go when selecting a tow vehicle.
