Same one. but different colors.

I belive its 5500 pounds with Trailer.max its total 6000

I would think it should pull it fine.... I'm not sure why you're having trouble up that hill so much, unless it's just that massive. The road to our camp we bring the boat to is about a 40-45 degree incline. Is that the only thing the Yuk is having trouble doing?

I never try to pull the Boat yet. I was just asking. and i have a 295/40/24. yep. 24" RIms. but total Diameter is only 2 inch Taller. that's it. or even less

those 24s might kill you. less traction. heavier. and they will bend after backing that boat up a hill a few times. i promise that. how steap is the hill?

I have a 27' travel trailer that I back up a steep driveway to park. When I had my 01 Suburban I just put it in 4-low. It hardly worked the engine or transmission. I now have an 05 Denail XL with all wheel drive. It works it a bit getting up the hill. I think what works best with that is getting it turned into the driveway and lined up before going up the hill. Then I just gun it and back up the hill. This works the Denali a lot less than trying to do it nice and easy.

Going back to the original question, here is a link to a towing guide to see what your capacity is: http://coachmenrv.com/owners/guide/
Good luck with a cross country trip. I usually get around 8 mpg pulling my 27' that weighs about 6,500. I have gotten as low a 6 mpg and just got 10mpg a couple weeks ago on a 200 mile trip. I had a 20-25 mph tail wind most of the way. That was nice. I don't know how much of a difference the shorter wheel base of the Tahoe / Yukon makes, but it might be a bit squirly with a trailer that big, especially if there is a strong cross wind.

Man you can do some things to haul that weight. But I think you shouldn't do it without mods!! You could travel just not far enough to make use of the trailer.

- Look into replacing your coil springs with bags or leafs. re-gear your axle for better towing. You should have a transmission cooler with your Denali if not get a good one or even upgrade. Swap out rear axle for an H2 14 bolt, should be a easy swap and should line right up!!!!! switch hubs up front to match the eight lug 14 bolt rear. This really wouldn't cost all that much if you hunted around a bit for some deals in the yards and got in good with an owner of a local small garage or custom fab guy. That's really easy to do just send biz his way and he'll do all kinds of work for a great rate.
