Tahoe Tow Vehicle Equipment Questions

There is no NHT package in the Tahoe, pickups only. Look for Z82 for the HD trailing package. If it has that, it will also have GU6 for the 3.42 axle. That is a good truck for your use. If you can find a Yukon Denali, they are more likely equipped with the Z82 and include the much higher powered 6.2L standard.

Perhaps this varies by year. For 2015 (a bit newer than the year I'm looking for) the Z82 is standard equipment. NHT is the optional package for HD trailering. They include:

Z82 Trailering equipment, includes trailering hitch platform, 7-wire harness with independent fused trailering circuits mated to a 7-way sealed connector and 2" trailering receiver S S S

NHT Max Trailering Package

Earlier years may be different though. The problem is that dealers tell me a used vehicle has the towing package and I've discovered what they mean is the standard towing package (Z82) which does not include what NHT does -- the 3.42 and brake controller.

It would have been easier to post a screenshot but I couldn't seem to make the post do that.

Having said that, however, I am including the Yukon in the search because I believe you are spot on about that. We had a Yukon Denali some years ago and loved it.
