Broke Down and Bought a GM

Well, after a lot of thought about our tow vehicle, I came to the conclusion that it just wasn't going to do the job for us. It has decent power, but I wasn't convinced that it was heavy duty enough for serious towing, chassis and brake wise. So I started shopping....and came home with a GM for the first time in my life!




It is a 2001 GMC Yukon SLT 4x4 5.3L that I bought from the original owner! :B It is absolutely like new inside and out and serviced at the GM dealer from new. It will be used to tow our 18' Maxum bowrider 4.3L because I wasn't convinced that my wife's 2005 Acura MDX would be a great tow vehicle for it.

The Yukon drives and rides beautiful. I spent a few days over the Christmas break servicing it, replacing corroded brake lines (bad problem for GM's of this era), cleaning ABS sensors, etc. I think it will be a great addition for us!
