I towed with an Acadia for 2 years.
It was a great tow vehicle, the long/wide wheelbase makes for a great tow platform.
Initially I wanted a tahoe/yukon, but the more I looked into it, the more I wanted an Acadia. The Acadia had more interior room, longer wheelbase, similar power (even though it was only V6), more speeds (at the time).
I towed a small 17' Funfinder, it weighed about 3700#. I went back and forth over the rockies, no problem. The 7' width of the FF probably helped. The biggest pain in the a$$ was backing up our trailer, with the long wheelbase suv, and very short trailer, it was a challenge.
Only reason we upgraded, trailer was too small for our needs.
I sure wish it could tow more, as we'd probably still have it (with a different trailer), I really like the new Denali ones.
