Towing with a Cadallic Escalade

Check the glove box label of all options it had when it was built & left the factory with. IIRC...Z82 is the tow option, but not for sure...someone might have better memory...
Here is one of the master GM RPO code sites have on file : Halderman, GM RPO code list
If not, then make sure to install the necessary aux stuff, but that might now offset the "good price"
Another is to look for a Tow/Haul button. It comes with the tow package and again IIRC...
Also, these GM AWD full sized Lux SUV's has a fluid coupled third member...meaning not as stout as a traditional non-fluid coupled third member (a third diff and is in the "ONE" speed transfer case on AWD...better/stronger are the traditional ones with a "TWO" speed transfer case). You will find it referenced as a "viscous" component of the transfer case
A lot depends on where/how/etc you drive and the maintenance the previous owner(s) (both schedule and materials/labor) used.
