new Escalade as TV
I just bought an escalade esv. it is new and has the 6.2l with 420hp and 460tq. It also has the 8 speed transmission. Has anyone used this setup or the yukon xl for towing a camper? Thank you.

If you will be towing anywhere near max and have P275/55R-20 tires swap them out for LT265/60R-20.
Never mind the "hot rod" motor comment. The 6.2L is a BEAST for towing. It simply isn't meant to be an HD "work truck" engine. That's all.
the tires are 285/45/22s ,load rating is 110
WHOA! Possibly even better if they are UHP-XL's (Ultra High Performance with Extra Load capacity at higher PSI)
I used to tow with low profile UHP tires on a smaller SUV and I can tell you they are as good or even better for highway towing. Extremely stable sidewalls provide a very solid towing experience.
