However, a rough estimate for a 1998 Suburban 1500 LT 5.7L V8 would be in the range of 6,000 to 7,000 pounds. This is just an approximation.
To find the *exact* towing capacity for your specific Suburban, you should check one of the following:
* The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker usually lists the vehicle's maximum towing capacity.
* The owner's manual: Your owner's manual will have the precise towing capacity information based on your vehicle's configuration.
* The vehicle's build sheet: If you can obtain the build sheet (sometimes available from Chevrolet or third-party sources), it will specify the towing capacity.
Remember that the towing capacity is the *maximum* weight you *should* tow. Factors like terrain, weather, and cargo in the Suburban itself will affect your actual safe towing capacity. Always tow well below the maximum capacity to ensure safety.
