Yes I have asked about this before. Let me say right up front that I agree a Suburban is twice as much as should be flat towed. But the CFO can't understand why some will tow an enclosed trailer with a vehicle in it or a flat bed with a vehicle on it and got to be at 3 ton. I know some of you guys with the proverbial engineering degree know the reason you can pull a heavy trailer with the axles closer and further back as opposed to pulling a vehicle with all 4 down. The PO used to do it with mine and I know of several others. Inquiring minds want to know. I do have a brake buddy and 3.21 final drive if that means anything. I've towed a 3000lb mustang with no issues but it got procured by immediate family. Just trying to come up with an answer other than "because they say it shouldn't be done"
