Towing with 1/2 ton SUV NEED ADVICE
I own a 2011 Yukon, 116" wheelbase, 5.3L, 3.42 ratio, with HD tow package, tow rating of #8,500. I'm looking at buying a TT but am unsure about how much of a trailer my vehicle can safely handle. I am...

UPDATE: Spent the day looking at campers with my wife. We looked at the Keystone Bullet 243BH and also the 272BH. My wife didn't like either unit so even though I was thinking the Jayco, White Hawk Summit 28DSBH was going to be too large for me to pull with my Yukon, I brought her to the dealership to check it out...explaining to her that if we went with this unit we'd have to look for a larger tow vehicle.
Long story short, she loved the Jayco, White Hawk Summit 28DSBH so we went immediately to our local GMC dealership to see what our options were for trading our Yukon for an appropriate tow vehicle. Neither of us wanted to give up our SUV for a pickup. As fate would have it, they had a 2012 Yukon XL Denali, with the 6.2 L and HD tow package. Put a deposit down to hold it and the camper through the weekend while I do some more research. Appears this is going to be a good fit. Anybody have any experience towing a TT with a Yukon XL Danali?
