Beachgirl, great choice on the Trailer saver and the Suites will LOVE the ride. As for your choice of Trucks you can't go wrong with the GM 3500HD's DRW. With the improvements GM made on the Frame and the exhaust brake you will have a excellent Truck to tow the Suites.

The last GM 3500HD we had was in 2008 and it had no problem with the Mobile Suites. We also had two other 3500HD's that pulled a heavier 5th wheel that the 2009 Suites. Pulled the Colorado Rockies with out a issue.

The Duramax/Allison is a proven combo about the only thing GM has done to the Duramax/Allison was to make impovements since it came on line. All the test on the 2011's have shown that GM has another winer and is a step above the competition. If we ever down size it will be to a GM with the Duramax/Allison.
Good Luck.

P.S. The 2011 GM is the Truck of the year by Motor Trend.
