    Tow vehicle

    My trusty old GMC strecth cab was totaled last week and am looking for a new vehicle. I am considering a Tahoe/Youkon, but would like to hear from other people who are hauling a car trailer with one. I am a little concerned about the short wheelbase on the Yukon, but the short wheelbase is part of what makes it an attractive option for in-town driving and parking garage acccess. I would appreciate comments. Regards, John McGraw

    John, I'm driving a GMC Yukon and it's towed cars, trailered cars, boats, snowmobiles on trailers with no problems. It handles well and the short wheel base is not a negative factor in comfort or handling.

      I run a Yukon with a leveler hitch and tow with no handling problems at all.

        I have a 2000 Tahoe and I towed an enclosed 20 ft. car hauler 8000 miles in the last year and a half. Absolutely no problems. The tow/haul feature works great. I use a load equalizing hitch with an anti-sway bar.

            I towed a 26' inclosed with a 2001 Denalle and with a 2000 Ford 250 Super Duty. The denalle was far superior

              We have a Dodge Dakota 4 door pickup which we have used on several occasions to tow Greg's project '65 around with a borrowed trailer. Much to Greg's dismay I love driving his truck. It rides really nice, has a good turning radius and fits easily into parking garages. The interior is cush and can hold 5 comfortably and you still have room in the bed for hauling car parts & stuff from the weekly Home Depot run. It's much more versatile and commuter-friendly than the Surburban or Dually we had before. And it gets about the same gas mileage as my C4! ~Juliet

                  John,

                  I'm using a 2002 Dodge Durango RT and having no problems whatsoever towing my 59 around. My first Dodge and I'm really happy with it.
