We tow our 8000 lb. boat/trailer with an 07 Limited (non- EL). It's impressive so be able to maintain the 55 mph speed limit on a mountain grade. I'd think you could probably tow your trailer anywhere. The 6 speed tranny works great, and shifts smoothly.

The load-leveling rear suspension is what makes all the difference in towing a trailer this size. It has worked flawlessly in keeping the vehicle level despite the load on the rear end. Without it, your rear end will likely sag, thus causing the front to feel "light" and have diminished steering ability.

As you've probably noticed, the Tahoe/Yukon can't town your weight, especially loaded with gear, unless you get the hard to find 4.10 geared rear end. The only other vehicle I considered was the Nissan Armada. It has LOADS of power and drives like a sports sedan. The interior is supposed to be new for 08. Haven't seen it, but we would have gone with the Nissan had it not been for the poor interior on the 07 models.
