Yukon XL (or Suburban) vs Yukon (Tahoe
So I've towed my 28ft TT (6000lbs with E2 WD hitch) for the past year and a equipment float and Jeep (pintal) for 4 years with my 2003 Yukon Denali XL. Its awesome. Everything feels great. Even with my cheap brake controller I almost for get I'm towing. Stable, pulls and stops well.
That said my Denali has gremlins. Lots of electrical issues and getting up to 250 000 KM so I'm starting to consider replacing it.
I like the bigger vehicle but it seems to be significantly more money to find one in the used market. Technically the Yukon/Tahoe has a slightly higher towing capacity but I'm wonder if the shorter wheelbase will be noticeably less stable.
Besides my recreational use towing 5-10 times a year my daily drive is 3km each way. So gas mileage isn't all that significant and we're a family of 4 with a dog so the not having extra space of the XL probably isn't going to bother me much one way or the other.
Comments? Looking to buy something the 2009-2012 range.
