2012 Yukon XL Towing 30Ft
I was hoping someone could help me out. I know this topic has been beat to death regarding weight however I do not think I am concerned about the weight more the length. I have a 2008 R-Vision Trail-S...

With either of those long wheelbase Yukons you will be fine. They're pretty close to a 20 foot long vehicle, no?
Get a good WDH with sway control and head out.
With the aforementioned "truck passing" you here is what I did when I was towing with my Suburban/30 foot travel trailer:
-as the rig approaches move over slightly to the shoulder, which increases the gap between the two of you.
-as the front of the rig reaches the space between your Yukon and the trailer is when you will notice your set-up getting a slight "pull" towards the rig. Slightly steer away from it until you can feel the "pull" subside.
-the rig will carry on it's merry way and you can center yourself back in your lane and start looking for the next upcoming rig.
This worked everytime for me.
Don't be fooled into thinking "you'll never feel anything with a good hitch". You will feel the "pull" regardless. You just want to alleviate it's affects on your set up.
Happy trails.
