Just wondering what everyone tows with their 1/2 ton SUV's? Lets see pictures! We have a 2013 GMC Yukon XL and are thinking about getting another camper but don't want to get anything to big that it can't handle it. I know it would pull it locally but if we would take it on vacation long trips! That might be where I get concerned!

I'm running a 98 Tahoe 2 dr 4x4 and I've been towing a vintage 25' Airstream for about 4 years. I replaced the motor a couple of years ago with a Chevy crate motor, HT383 E stroker. Had the trans and rear ended after the first trip to Yosemite. Got nearly 300k miles out of the original running gear. Living in NorCal, I've been all over the West Coast, a blizzard in Albuquerque, a couple of trips to Denver and Boise. Planning a trip to Maine later this year. My Airstream comes in around 6500 lbs fully loaded. Air bags and adjustable shocks a must on my Tahoe. Good anti sway hitch also a must.

I'll be towing a 29' travel trailer from Missouri to South Carolina at the start of August. It weighs 6400 lbs. We have the max trailering package on our 2017 Tahoe.

Tow a 23' TT and my TJ on a 10k lb equipment trailer. Not at the same time though. :) I added helper bags but need to track down one last small leak.

Well this weekend we did a test run, of sorts. Towed the camper 7 hours total. Handled like a champ. I didn't realize I had the air suspension so was worried about squat, no squat at all. Couldn't even tell the trailer was back there.
