Comments towing with a recent Yukon 6.2L?
I am looking at the 2015 'i' model year Yukon Denali with 6.2L 420 HP and 460 ft/lbs torque. We are a family of 6 and are looking at the K-Z S322BHK which has a GVWR of 8800. The Yukon says max towing...

>> My opinion, obviously, but there is no legitimate reason to stick at 75% of the truck's ratings.
It is really great to get the spectrum of advice and opinions to help me reach my decision. As of now I am leaning towards trying to find a lighter trailer.
>> Travel trailers ...have... 13-15% tongue weight.
At the spec page http://www.kz-rv.com/sportsmen/specifications.html they state Unloaded Vehicle Weight is 7060 and Dry Hitch weight is 600 which comes out to 8.5%. Does going 'wet' change the ratio that much or do these factory spec type numbers vary greatly in the real world? If I end up at 8000 lbs wet at 8.5% that would be 680 hitch weight.
I've weighed trailer/truck combos before at the truck stop scales. What is the best way to measure tongue weight in the real world?
