    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    Wow - nice tow (above)! Unless I find something else I'm going to go with 'bad loading' trailer -> camper build out - namely front/back loading has amplified sway. Funny, I've watched (literally) 100 youtubes on trailer builds but don't recall anyone mentioning this. And it's natural to do...

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    This is my 1st used car purchase in 45 years. Part of the reason for going regular Dealer instead of Craigslist is (I assumed) clear title. They said "We are DMV enabled dealer - we'll do all the DMV for you". And in fact, we did the DMV paperwork as part of the purchase and it was...

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    @swathdiver is making this point. I have a jack + knowledge and can check wheels/bearings for looseness.

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    Tongue weight is OK. This could be something.... It's a camper with water(30g)/full-kitchen/bath in front and garage in back end. While it's balanced overall, the weight is not concentrated over the axles but more front/back. Directly over the axles are chairs and TV - light compared to...

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    Without stabilization I measured 11" from edge of trailer to the road at both front and back - it was level within 1/4 of an inch. With stabilization I agree it was up - maybe 11.5" front and 10.5" back. I have read that 1-2" is acceptable variance? I can adjust the stabilization hitch...

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    Good vid but... my tongue weight is 650lbs which is 650lb / 5300lb = 13.3% of trailer weight - which is in the proper zone. So my sway must be coming from additional factors. Without weight distribution, the rear was down 1 inch and the front was up at least an inch. The vehicle is high /...

    FORD Dealer says "Waiting on Previous Owner/Lender" - 2021 GMC Yukon Denali

    We paid for a used 2021 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L at a Ford dealership. Part of the reason for going this way was to avoid title hassles and have the nightmare of a car that can't be titled! It's been 3 weeks since purchase and now I have a letter from the dealer saying they are waiting on the...

    First Towing Experience 2021 Yukon Denali - 5300lb trailer, with and without stablizer

    Thought I'd share our first experience towing our 5300lb 7 x 14 dual axle trailer -> camper on a 400 mile round trip over 5800ft mountain and back. We have a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2L with middle package 22" wheels but no air suspension. Installed a Curt brake controller. Starting with...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    Agree 100% on warning sticker! Sorry for you're trouble but guess I'm not the only one now. I wonder how many others have popped the card?

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    I just bought the vehicle used, no warranty, and popped the original SD Card out not knowing what it was for - which disables it/nav system and cannot be corrected w/original SD Card. Was glad to be able to correct my mistake.

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    The SD Card arrived and all you have to do is 1) Turn vehicle off for at least 10 minutes 2) Put in the new SD Card 3) Turn vehicle on, hit Nav on the display and say Yes, Yes, Confirm.... and wa la, it's working again. Many thanks to @DougAMiller for pointing me to the $165 solution :)...

    Towing Question

    I just bought a used 2021 Yukon Denali - and the 4-pin connector is right above the (round) 7-pin connector. Easy to pop bumper hitch cover and take a look. :)

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    They should put a WARNING sticker near it :) My replacement SD Card is set to arrive this week, will report back if I'm able to fix myself.

    Towing up Mountain Pass - 210F Engine and 199F Transmission

    Interesting. Here's a pic of the trailer - and level is ~14.5" to top of the ball. The Caddy's receiver is ~14" to the center. I ordered Blue Ox BLU28XR Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" Hitches - 8" Rise/Drop - 10,000 lbs -...

    Towing up Mountain Pass - 210F Engine and 199F Transmission

    Thanks folks - will monitor for <=180F Transmission Temps on a sustained basis. I have to say that I really like the vehicle, but... I miss a shift handle as part of the console! Had one in most vehicles all my life since my 1st - a 66 mustang 6-cyclinder 3-speed (rattled like crazy). The...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    We're test driving a used 2021 Yukon Denali this week. All is going well, price OK, beautiful car, towing test was a success, everything works so we're likely to buy. However, poking around I ran across the SD Card in the center console and popped it out, put it back in wondering what it was...

    Towing up Mountain Pass - 210F Engine and 199F Transmission

    I'm in the process of buying a used 2021 Yukon Denali 6.2L. A key thing for us is towing a 5,300lb 7 x 14 cargo trailer converted to a camper. In Southern Oregon we can't go anywhere without going over 4300 - 5200ft mountain passes and our old car overheats at 70F ambient or hotter. Did a...

    Front Mount Hitch (2" receiver) for 2021 Yukon Denali?

    In my previous vehicle I use the front hitch to push my trailer into a tight parking spot along side the house and I have a receiver oriented winch + portable battery so I can winch front or back. I am hoping to continue this capability by adding a front receiver to my 2021 Yukon Denali (6.2L)...
