RE: [A/S] Re: Tow vehicle advice needed

Paula:
The GMC Denali is a great choice for your tow vehicle, way to go!
And thanks for buying American and keeping your money in America and not sending it overseas
I tow my 2002 30' classic with my 4 door GMC 2500 6.0 litre, it does a great job towing (but it does not fit
in my garage either)

I have been very happy with my Toyota Tundra. I tow a 25' Safari, it weighs about 6000 pounds. I travel light, but going up hills I find myself backing off the gas because it seems to fly up the hills. I go slower down the hills.
