Hello,We are considering purchasing a new (to us) Yukon XL to tow our Rockwood Roo 23SS. We're pretty close to making the deal, pending a clean inspection by our mechanic, but we're about $500 different in the price. What kind of extras could I ask for that would bring value to me, but not cause the dealer to run away?Here's the link to the vehicle:Yukon XLThe only two things I can think of are1) A full tank of gas (it's on E right now!)2) Installation of my brake controller. Stupid question: This vehicle has the towing package (the button to push on the gear shift) ... does that mean the brake system is already hooked into the trailer so no controller is needed? Or do I still need the brake controller?What other extras could I ask for that would be valuable?

Floor mats, bed mats, nice seat cover (at least for the drivers seat)WoodGlue

Rear camera on truck....My 2010 F150 came with one as part of the towing package...I probably would have never installed one on my own but after getting this I don't know how I have done without one now. I line up first time every time. This has the range one foot markers with beep alarms. You can see the trailer hitch go over the top of the truck hitch ball. Can't get no better than that...The FORD F150 rear camera is part of the FORD F150 tail gate emblem shown on the bottom in this photophotos from google searchRoy Ken

$8500 for a 10-year old truck?Is the "trailer wiring" the round 7-pole "Bargman" trailer connector on the back bumper? Ya need this on the truck plus a brake controller. I don't think Chevy put a built-in controller on the truck until very recently. Tekonsha P4 is still my controller of choice for an add-on.-- Chuck

Another thing to consider is just because it has a tow package does not mean it has an external transmission cooler which is a must for towing.

Just an FYI. My last 2 GMC Envoys, the tranny coolers were standard where they were an option on Chevy's. I believe the same applies to Yukon/Tahoe.

the transmission coolers are stock on the tb but inadequet for towing. belive me, we would not give any extras on a wound up 1/2 ton sub. It would be marketed as cheap 4wd family vehicle, and somebody would buy it. We would not market it as a tow vehicle. Lot has: 2 2008 k2500 ext, and an 06 cummins marketed as tow vehicles,lol

$8000 suv never stick around on the lot, especially full size. ******like toyota matrix, and some vw are around for an extended while.

low mileage 3/4 to 1ton can be bought at auction, and flipped at auction for profit.
