You should not have any problem buying a receiver hitch for your Suburban. Most RV shops should be able to help you out. You will probably need a trailer electrical hookup and a trailer brake controller as well.

I went to a local shop it sold wheels, step up guards, brush guards, 4x4 lighting ect, truck custom parts, Been a few years back I bought a reese class 5 they installed it and I bought the drop down draw bar and ball and a locking hitch pin and a locking trailer coupler latch to keep someone from taking the ttrailer I want to say it all was about $440.00 installed and I did my own light harness tied into the wire harness up between the frame rails where the wire harness splits off to go the each rear side just behind the gas tank, That kit was about $20+.
