Older Chevy Suburban weight capacity?

I have a 1987 5.7 fuel injected Chevrolet Suburban, and I wanted to load heavy stuff in it, but I do not know what is the max weight bound. Does anybody know?

if it assists I was told when I got emissions that it weighs two 1/2 tons 5000 lbs. itself.

so how much weight can it carry inside?
p.s. not towing

think about the era of the suspension and the last handling.. are you going short or long distance? and on the highways?
My advice depending on these conditions are,1 if short and slow, you're much better off,than long and at highway speeds.. remember your braking abilities are as important as anythingelse. if you HAVE to get on the hiway, go slow, 55 mph max. keep a good following distance, and going slow will assist. and look at your front suspension, measure the hieght from the tire to the ouside edge of the fender, and do not let it get more than 2" taller. When you load the rear the frt end will rise, causing the steering to change, because the frt suspension swings in an arc, and if you may be able to put as much weight forward as you may be able to..
you can attempt to look at the vin sticker in the door jamb.. it may have the gvw, which is the toal weight of the trk and your load, its capacity total. If you're going long distance, stay close to this, and deduct ten % for safety sake.. and if you have family with you be extra cautious.. drive gradually, 55 mph because they're your most precious cargo. If I had to guess at a weight capicity, I could say 1500 lbs, for passengers and cargo.

Your answer will be both on the plate or decal on the drivers door post and on the license receipt where you register it for the road. it'll have the gross car weight and the curb weight. The difference is how much you may be able to legally carry.

those things are constructed like beasts. I could feel comfy putting at least a 1/2 ton in it. just do not make it squat too much. if you're wanting to carry more, then I could propose to get helper springs put on.

P.S. I got a 1978 C10 that's rated for 1/2 ton but I have had at least one and a 1/2 tons in it without it squating. but I think a last owner added some leafs to the springs.

Look in your manual or on the door panel of the car and you see a sticker there. You see GVW and GVWR. that's gross car weight and gross car weight ranking for that standard car. If it's original motor it's most likely a 454, so look for you total towing capacity and that tells you with the weight of the car being 4895LBS that loaded with this full can tale another 3000lb. without to much strain on the car. I have a 86 suburban that I totally restored and put a 350 small block with a four barrel, with OD and a 3:11 posi rearend, with a 24"lift with 60 inch mudder tires turbo, with ten lb. NOS. Runs a 1/4 mile in eleven sec, at 192 three mph, Still good tuning but Im happy so far.
