2008 Yukon Xl 1/2 And 3/4 Ton Towing Capacity?

[bongju]

Where can I obtain documentation on the 2008 Yukon XL 1/2 and 3/4 ton towing capacity? I am ready to order a new tow vehicle, and I want to confirm that I can tow our travel trailer. In the past, I would have specified the 3/4 ton with 8.1L engine and 4.10 axle ratio for maximum capacity. I'm not sure what options are available in the 2008 models.

 

Thank you.

It appears as though the 2008 specs aren't published yet. But the max towing of a 2007 (probably the same) is 9700 lbs with 2WD and the 4.10 rear end.

You could try to find a lightly used OBS one with 12K capacity for not much money. The market has tanked for these gas guzzlers. A few months ago I paid only $23,500 for my '04 3/4-ton 2WD with the 8.1L/4.10 with 36K miles.
