We just went to look at a 2012 yukon xl last night. It was listed as a 3/4 ton on the dealer website, but was actually only a 1/2 ton. I was looking at the hitch plate and it showed a tongue rating of 1000lbs and trailer rating of 10,000 lbs. thinking this can't be right, I walked across the parking lot to look at a 2013 hitch and it said the same thing.
These were both factory hitches but don't match up to what the trailer guides for gmc publish.
Which numbers should i believe, the guide or the hitch? Either way i am not getting a 1/2 ton yukon xl with a 5.3. I just want to know in case I come across a 3/4 ton and those numbers are different also.
