thinking about using my 99 Yukon Denali as a towed dingy behind motor home. anyone doing this and what equipment is needed? thanks

not a good truck to be towed, you'll need to pull both drive shafts.

small fwd car on a tow dolly would be better. or a pair of mopeds on a hitch platform. if you just need to get around when the rv is parked up at a site.

Just curious, but why is that?

Is it AWD or 2WD and if AWD, can the transfer case be put into neutral?

That’s what I’m thinking...

Mine is 4WD and can be flat towed with the transfer case in neutral. If the OPs Denali is 2WD and he is physically able, it's not a big deal to pull the driveshaft off the differential for towing either. You could leave the forward end in the trans and tie the other end off somewhere or just pull it, stuff a rag in the tailshaft and tape the u-joint so the caps don't fall off.

the Yukon in question from my original post is an AWD/4WD with a neutral button for transfer case.

Then you won't need to crawl under it. Read your owner's manual for the specific procedure and things to do. I've seen it done but not done it myself.

I looked at the owners manual before posting the question. I just found the section covering it so obviously I didn't look closely enough. Anyway the answer is with the engine running, place the transfer case in neutral and then put key in the off position.
