Default 9th gen. engine q's

Hey all,

I'm in the market for a 9th Gen Suburban (92-99). I'm looking at both gassers and diesels, and I have a question about the gas engines that you folks might have some advice on or know where to ask this question. I will be primarily towing a boat (4500lbs) and I'm wondering if I need to focus on the 7.4L engine or if the 350 small block will be enough power to tow that much weight?

Thanks in advance for you responses.

this isn't really an answer to your question; imo the best generation is 2000 to 2006. I'm not a fan of throttle body or port fuel injection.


the 5.3 for this gen will tow 4500 no problem or better yet....get a hemi...way better than any gm gasser.
