If you’re a fan of big passenger-carrying wagons, and can cope with the operating costs, SUVs don’t get much bigger than a Suburban. Boat and trailer owners in particular gravitate toward Suburbans, which offer up to 8,100-pounds towing capacity (or 9,700 pounds for the two-wheel-drive 2500 series).
Unless you really need this much passenger- and cargo-hauling capability, a smaller vehicle, such as the GMC Acadia, might be a better choice, especially if gasoline prices resume their recent rise.
