Which one
I am buying a new used vehicle I was looking at a Chevy suburban 5.3 Z71 for 25000 but I just seen a 03 Ex 7.3 for about the same money. I have a travel trailer 28ft 5500lbs so its not to heavy for the burb to tow.

Ditto the X. While many small-block motors are in trucks & SUVs rated to tow 7K#, I've found they seem to labor pretty hard with anything upwards of 5K#. I tow only 5,600#, and my V10 makes it seem like the trailer's not even back there. I'm sure the big diesel will hardly feel it at all.

I'd get the X too, you'll average way better with the X than with the burb. Towing 7-8k with the X you'd probably see about 12-14 mpg give or take. Towing with the burb you'd probably see about 8-10 if that. I towed a about 7k with my X (A jeep cherokee and the trailer) and I acutally forgot I was towing something until I looked in the rearview mirror. So.....
