New Rig Needed. Z71 Burb vs Yukon Denali XL

[Dlayne]

6.2L Unless you never tow, but rented a 5.3 Burb from LA to Palms Springs and many times wished I had the 6.2. Then again, I tow frequently. Premium is a must, but let’s face it, at the price of these to start with what’s an extra few $?...lol...

Unless your get the Max Trailering package on the Tahoe or Suburban i will agree the truck isn't great to tow with.
With the Max Trailering package the gear ratio is changed (3.42 axle ratio), second you get a trailer brake controller (for me this is a must when towing) and 4WD models include 2-speed active transfer case. The gear ratio change is such a great thing for the 5.3L.
