I have been thinking about getting a travel trailer or toy hauler. The reason I'm thinking of using the Yukon and not my truck as a toy vehicle is because I have 6 people that will be needing a seat including me.
Whats the biggest you have pulled with your 5.3? Also is does the Auto Ride level the Yukon out when tongue weight is added?
Post up some picks of your trailer..

The Yukon is setup for towing somewhat...
JH2 BRAKE HYD POWER, DISC/DISC, 7, 200 LBS 7200# PWR BRAKES(JH2)
GT5 AXLE,REAR,4.10 RATIO 4.10R(GT5)
KNP COOLING SYSTEM,TRANSMISSION,HEAVY DUTY HVY DUTY TRANS CLG SYS(KNP)

I will still need a bigger transcooler im sure. But I didnt even know I had the 4:10's or the Hydraulic Brakes.

We bought this last year, a 30' 2009 Tango 289BH:

We bought it to be our portable hotel room, but even though we loved it, it was a bit too small (we have 5 kids) so we're trading it in and getting this one:

35' Keystone Premier 31BHPR:

It's on order from the factory and should (hopefully) be arriving in a few weeks.

I usually pull it with a different truck, but I wanted to try out the Yukon.

I took it down the highway today, pulled @ 65 pretty good. Stopped alot better than I thought it would too.

Don't plan to pull it with the Yukon unless the truck is not available.

Trailer and all the contents trip the scale @ 7800.
