If the older Suburban is in good shape and your purchase it, take it to a reputable transmission shop and let them check it, replace with synthetic fluid, add a transmission cooler and install a temperature gauge. If it needs a rebuild, that is the time to do it as well. Some of the older vehicles still pull very well and are cost effective. I pull with a 2002 3/4 Duramax and have no plans to replace it. I get better mileage than the newer models, and best of all, NO PAYMENTS!!!

There are going to be members here much more knowledgeable, my only comments are from personal experience. I had the 2500 Suburban pulling a 30' and the transmission was just not up to the job.
