2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500

[Oldtrucksrule]

Hello all, I recently purchased a 2012 GMC Yukon XL 2500 with 66,000 miles. It's hard loaded with heated and cooled leather, 4wd, heated rear buckets, sunroof, navigation, towing mirrors, retractable running boards and dual DVD's. I'm not sure if it was ordered with door molding and badging delete but, those have been removed. It has aluminum 20" wheels with a lift and leveling kit. I haven't received it yet, they're detailing it and fixing a couple flaws.

I'll be using it to tow my 27' Airstream travel trailer. I'll be adding a front receiver hitch and possibly some rear airbags or helper springs. If anyone has any suggestions or experience with either, it would be much appreciated.

I'm sure I'll have many other questions as I go along.

It's replacing my 2002 Ford Excursion V10 and I'm hoping it will provide many years of problem free towing as the Ol' Beast!!

Thanks!

Awesome! Great looking rig. 3/4 SUVs are the most versatile vehicle, I love mine. Too bad GM didn't offer the Duramax option.

I'd put running boards back on if it were mine. Nice looking truck, interior looks just like mine. Enjoy!

You can pay $5 or $10 at compnine.com and get your RPO sheet decoded. Sometimes it'll even show how many others of the same year had your options.

What's the Airstream weigh?

That was part of what I negotiated at the dealer. They are installing AMP Research retractable running boards.

I already did that, thanks for the tip. Mine doesn't show how many others were built with options.

What's the Airstream weigh?

About 8,000lbs

Looks like you're good to go on all fronts!

Well, what about those tires? They appear much larger than stock for a 2500. Are they E-Rated, 10-Ply and is their rating enough to tow with?

Is this a Denali HD pickup front clip? Has anyone done this, I'd love to see a picture?

Google 'Duraburb'
They don't have a website but they have a Facebook page and lots of great YouTube videos.

That is SWEEEET!

I don't believe its a 2500 tho, it would be more fitting for an actual 2500.

Basically same truck as mine but white. What size tires are on it? And any idea what kit... is it a leveling kit or small suspension lift?

AMP steps are my favorite mod so far! Stock running boards make these trucks look too low. Recently had mine at the dealer for warranty work and they tried saying it wasn't covered because of my "lift"... told them to go take a tape measure to the fenders and tell me what size lift block I have in the rear then call me back. They called back later that day "ok sir the work is all done" lol
