Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards, but I was kind of hoping some one could reliably inform me otherwise
Check the car handbook, a Discovery can tow 3500kg but not with a full load in the car as well.
Limited to two people only if on coils or four people on air. Not sure how many people would know that to pick you up on it though.
It's in the Drivers Handbook, Technical Section, and also in RAVE.

UK domestic market you'll not find much that will tow over that.
But get a yank tank or similar and you can without air brakes. I wonder what a g36 6x6 am would tow?
on our yank tanks, the pictures I posted will be electric over hydraulic brakes on all axles
Yeah but the post I made is nothing to do with your pictures. The suburban has a higher than 3500kg towing limit as standard.
Depends which spec suburban you get as to engine, rear diffs ratio, and which wheel base. The newer ones are different than the old ones. new ones are 6000-6300lbs
But it's still over.
6000-6300lbs is less than 3500kg
Can it tow over 3500kg? Yes. And that's that.
legally no
UK weights are 3500kg max with overrun brakes, more if the trailer has power brakes and conforms to C&U reg's, but I don't know of any UK-built trailers which comply, especially since the October 2012 changes brought in by UNECE. USA-built trailers that have been imported and gone through Type Approval may comply, but as most are fitted with electric brakes, there are/were issues over the secondary brake and reserve.
Our Mercedes is plated at 13000 kg GCW with power brakes, but you have to have the correct trailer to do that, you cannot just chuck any trailer on the back and get the 7 tonne rating.
Peter
you didn't say what year. I said older one probably, newer ones depends which model 2015 is what I said 6000-6300lbs
cooltide
sheep fancier
Gvw and mam are the same thing, so as blue dog says 1420kg trailer

Though not all cars and trailers are plated
Can a suburban tow over 3500? Yes. Simple as.

It can tow 2000kg braked. Not recommended though, it is freaking scary seeing as the car only weighs 1550kg!
