Yukon/Tahoe/Sequoia would be great, I've actually been looking at them but they are a lot more expensive.
I plan to tow a maximum of 3500 lbs (empty tanks) not more than 6 times a year up to 300 miles.
The traverse/Acadia have a 5200/600 lbs capacity with an available payload of 1454 lbs. Its not perfect, but what am I missing? Its not close to pushing the limit. The terrain's capacity is 3500 lbs just like my Toyota Venza... I would never do what your friend is doing.
Nothing at all wrong with the Traverse. My brother has one and it tows 4000+ lb regularly. And, it is a great vehicle for the 98% of the time when it is not used as a tow vehicle. Great choice, and no CVT to worry about.
