Towing with older SUV’s

[j.mo]

I remember towing my 215 Sanger with my 05 1500 Silverado. It was a full bolt on LQ9 build with a built trans and 4.88s with 35s.
It wasn’t my favorite, it did fine it was just always screaming at 4k rpm’s lol.
I’m assuming this Yukon will be the same scenario. We tow through the sierras on I-80
It used to be a 20min pull. Now it’s an hour and 20min pull from the opposite side.
I have a feeling it’ll be back behind my cummins after a few trips as the woman isn’t going to put up with a cammed out 6.0 and long tubes screams for an hour and a half.
I may end up just passing so I don’t hear her in my ear forever whenever we drive it.

It was the same with my 6.0 powerstroke. That 6.0 screamed with 4.56 and 625whp. I eventually sold it because I got tired of hearing her chirp about the rickety obnoxious old truck.
We had my 4th gen ‘15 cummins Laramie with compounds to drive. Why drive that old fort.
Because I love that old ford!! Nice truck it was. Only had 95k when I sold it. Camper shell for the dogs and a full 6.4 Harley interior.

I had some buddies that had the older SUVs that pulled their boats. One was a Denali and the other was an Escalade - both all black with the tinted windows. Nice trucks.

We would go on boating vacations in these small north GA towns and take those SUVs to go out to eat at night. The local folks thought the secret service was in town as those black SUVs pulled up to restaurants and everyone piled out.

If your SUV has air ride suspension, find out where your compressor and compressor intake are. Ask me how I know.
