Towing capacity??

[tinlain7]

Looking to purchase a Tahoe/Yukon 2017+
I’m getting conflicting information about how much my trailer can weigh. I want to trade up from a 4500 dry weight trailer to approximately 6700 dry weight travel trailer. It’s just myself and my wife and 3 small grandkids. Exactly what equipment does the SUV need??

I’m looking at a 2017 5.3L 3.42 rear axle ratio w/max trailering package. Will this work?

towing capacity is always listed in the owners manual, which is free online.

Need to know the tongue weight of the trailer also, and the payload of the rig you’re looking at, which is on a sticker inside the door jamb. On these trucks, towing capacity isn’t usually the limiting factor, payload is. 6700 dry is a little too much trailer, in my opinion. I pull a 7000 lb (wet, loaded) with my XL Denali’s and I’m just barely within the limits of the truck when loaded up for camping with kids and dog on board.

if you decide to pull the trigger anyway, you‘ll be a lot happier with the 6.2 and the rear air shocks.

6.2L Tahoe XL or Suburban minimum if not a 250/2500 pickup. I tow a 24ft 6000 lb fully loaded trailer with a 2019 Yukon Denali 6.2L with max trailering package and thats about at the safe limits of weight and length for that vehicle and wheel base. The posted limits from GM are for a flat bed trailer, not an 11 ft high sail. And as was also pointed out, cargo capacity (passengers and cargo in vehicle, weight of WDH hitch, tongue weight) is often just as much of a limiting factor.

A good weight distribution hitch can't be over emphasized as well. We previously had a '15 Durango and towed a 27' trailer all over the Northwest. It has a 600lb less tow capacity as the Yukon/Tahoe. It was more nerve racking driving it the 15 miles home empty without the WDH when purchased then thousands of miles over hills and at speeds.
