new Escalade as TV
I just bought an escalade esv. it is new and has the 6.2l with 420hp and 460tq. It also has the 8 speed transmission. Has anyone used this setup or the yukon xl for towing a camper? Thank you.

thank you for all your comments. Again I'm not asking how much I can tow. I have already found that information online. Its not my first camper I have been camping for a few years. Before I bought my current 5th wheel (that I tow with a 2500hd dmax) I had a bumper pull camper that was a 2006 jayco tt that weighed almost 10,000lbs and was very hard on me as the driver. I do not plan to overload the escalade. I am OK using it to pull my golf cart and mx bikes around while I use the dmax as my TV for the camper(I currently double tow my golf cart behind my 5er) I was only asking if anyone here has real world experience towing with the escalade,or Yukon Denali with the new 8 speed and 6.2 L86.
I actually found a few videos of the escalade pulling a 7000lb horse trailer (TFL truck) up the ike gauntlet at elevation and they had nothing bad to say at all. In fact the with comments like "we need a bigger trailer" and I keeping exceeding the speed limit so I have to let off". Anyway I think this truck has some real potential and if anyone has any real world experience that would be great! I travel with my wife and dogs. we live and travel the south east so no long grades, and we don't do very long trips at this point in time so we don't need a lot of gear. we havent done any dry camping so we never fill our fresh water tank. Thanks again for your help.
