Towing Roo 233s with Yukon xl? Feedback?
We are considering a Roo 233 S but have reservations on successfully towing with our Yukon XL. Would love to hear from Roo owners that might be towing with a similar SUV and how it handles?

I tow a 6500# hybrid toy hauler with an '03 Tahoe Z71 w/ 5.3. The GCVW is close to the 13,000# limit but it tows just fine thru the Colorado rockies. I do have to downshift and hold it in second gear at 3500 rpms or so going up hill. BTW I average about 9.8 mpg.
how many kids? They have 6!
2 kids and 2 labs. The point was the Tahoe has a similar power train and can handle the weight. My '03 owners manual shows the GCVW of the Yukon XL at 13,000 or 14,000 lbs. It should tow just fine.
The only other option is to move up to a 3/4 van or suburban or 1 ton van. How old are the kids? If they are big enough to add a bunch of weight they may be old enough to sleep in a tent.
