Tempting and incredibly thoughtful. Thanks. We are looking for a 2010 or newer, used, 2500 Suburban with low miles. Our current tow vehicle is a 2008 with 40k. Because we do use the TT so much, we want to have the warranty for as long as possible.
I do appreciate everyone sending me links. Keep 'em coming!

Used 2008 - 2010's (6 speed transmissions) are north of $30K. I bought our Suburban used with 50k on the odometer. It is our family "go everywhere" vehicle and we did tow with it one year. Becuase I knew we'd be putting a lot of miles on it I bought what has turned out to be an excellent after market warranty - bumper to bumper, that has paid for itself and still has not expired. I wouldnt let a good used one pass you by especially if its at a great price, has been well maintained and you can get a similar warranty. The 3/4 ton Burbs seem to be getting rarer.

I have no idea what colors/options you may want, but I found a few leftover 2011 2500's in stock.
White 2011 in Indiana.

Autotrader price is listed at about $9k off MSRP.

Others listed are farther away.

Thanks! I am looking into that one, though it's been long enough it may be sold. Drats.

Still lookin'!

Edited to add that we are flexible on options and color. Ideally, bucket seats in the second row, but not a must-have.

You may want to consider a Ford Excursion.

I see a 2010 Yukon XL SLT, black on black with heated/cooled seats, NAV, no sunroof, bench send row on Autotrader in Bronx, NY for $37k, 10.5k miles. That look like a good price. White 2008 Burb captain chairs 30k miles in PA for $28k.

Just do an advances search and add 2500 to the keywords. Filters out most of the 1500s.
