We're potentially in the market for a Yukon XL due to family size. Per mfg specs, there isn't a great difference in towing capacity between the 5.3 and 6.2. There is, however, a fairly large price difference
Taking into account the various opinions on how much you should actually tow - lets say for the sake of this question that I plan to tow up near the "reasonable limit" of the Yukon of say 80% of the manufacturer's limit.
Anyone have any experience in how big a difference the "seat of the pants" feeling is between towing w/ the 5.3 v the 6.2? Dad always said there is no replacement for displacement. But for the price difference, I have to ask!
Unfortunately, I don't think I can ask my local dealer to let me tow my TT behind both during my test drives... 8)
And, since I'm here, I recently saw in trailer live's towing guide that the new Expedition goes to 9,100lb w/ the 3.5L v-6 which hits my curiosity even more.. I just can't imagine towing that much w/ a 3.5 but the prospect of better MPG when I'm not hitched has me thinking...
Thanks!
