Tow Vehicle

!990 GM introduced an extended van we bought one new . Unlike the Dodge extended van where thy added 2' behind the rear wheels GM extended the wheelbase. On further recollection ours was rated as a 3/4 ton 2500. The first thing I did was remove 2 leaves from each side so it sat level. Never changed anything else in the suspension. I liked it better than the Suburban we had used but missed the 454. There is the theory that you need a full frame to tow but I was happy . Really wanted the interior room without stepping up to a motor home. This was a bare bones van 350 air am radio , it was 1/2 the price of a new suburban at the time. I wouldn't hesitate to go with the newer 3500 6.0 van , like I said it's all about the rear overhang ---Trevor
