TRT, Tow Rig Tuesday...show what ya tow

[waterman]

Yesterday was the first time I pulled the boat with the new Yukon...curious to see what everyone tows with their rigs...figured having a TRT thread might be cool. The new truck didn't squat too bad, I could hear the auto ride motor kick on when the ball took on the load, didn't seem like it lifted too much though.

Here is my 15 Denali. I don’t even notice the boat is there.

Ditto. Just took the boat out of storage.

They race these funky 70”s Boats called Thunderbirds here and my wife wanted one. They are too heavy for our Honda Odyssey to tow. So I told my wife she was going to have to drive the Tahoe, though I did make the trip to Ontario to pick it up.

Frankly I hate the thing as a daily driver, but it towed this nearly 6,000 lb setup without any problem. We used to tow with a Chevy Express 2500 and this is better.

Im sure it tows well and all, but to say you dont even know its there is a little much. When I have our empty 12’ galvanized landscape type trailer hooked up, even when it is empty, I know its there.

Nice looking setup!

Our 28’ travel trailer, my Jeep, and a load of p-stone with a dump trailer.

How does it do with the travel trailer. I have a 40' diesel pusher and would love to exchange it for a 32' toy hauler with a slide. Not sure my 2015 Yukon XL Denali can handle towing it with a couple HD's inside. Any thoughts? I pull the HD's in an enclosed trailer behind the motorhome now... Really need some advice here. Don't really want to go to a pickup yet...

It probably got it back to close to normal height in the back. But what the shocks dont do is put weight back on the front, so the front sits higher than normal. Goving it the level or sagging look.

What kind of boat is that?
Looks awesome. I tow a 1987 Formula 272..

That dosnt sound like something I would want to tow around with a half ton Yukon. I would get the overall weight combo figured out and go from there. Dont go over the factory rating by much and you should be good.

Yea, its a lot over...
I know it has the horse power, but you still have to have suspension that works and be able to stop....
I keep hoping someone has had some experience going way over the limit...

Thanks, Eric
