I have had a couple yukon XL's . Bought them both from Battles new. Never had a problem with either. Towed the 23' seacraft with no problem at all. The latest one I have pulled the 32' mirage out of the water and drove down the street aways but I have never taken it on the highway. I am overloading it and don't want to push my luck. Still no problem. You put that sucker in low 4wd and it comes out no problem. I have pulled the 37' trailer with no boat on the highway and it again was no problem. The combo of an 18' truck and a 37' trailer pushes the limit the ferry will let me put on.

If you have a big rig get the 2500 model if you have a smaller boat go for the 1500. The towing package is worth the $.


I think if you go with a full size GMC Ford or big dodge you will have no problem. I picked the GMC because that was the closest dealer to me and I wanted the interior space for fishing gear/kids/dog/ski crap/boat crap/visitors/kayaks/dinghies/giant BJ runs etc
