Towing with an Avalanche
Any towing with a 2008 or newer avalanche? I read the newer ones are coming with the 6.2 motor, and have some decent towing capacities. Anyone experience?

They stopped the 6.0L in the Avalanche in '07. The Escalade EXT still has it. It is basically like towing with a 1500 pickup. It might be a bit heavier than the pickup since it's basically a Suburban with the back 1/4 chopped off. Mine weighs almost exactly 6,000 lbs with me in it. I've never towed a travel trailer with it, but I have towed some pretty heavy stuff (most recently a U-Haul car trailer and '63 Impala). I can say that whatever that combo weighed made for a 13-hour, white knuckle drive.
