She was assembled in Arlington, Texas and we are happy to buy American.....
One glitch but the dealer is fixing it.....the built in brake controller
does not work with Dexter electro/hydraulic disc brakes on our SteSpot...so
they are putting a Prodigy on for us....will just disable the factory one
and leave it intact......making lemonade with lemons.....the dealer is doing
handstands to make us happy....that is so good to have happen. It is the
same dealership that I used to go to with my Pontiac Grand Prix that used to
die at the most inopportune places---like the middle of a freeway....and
they could never find the problem.....guess having a GMC vehicle gets better
service than having a Pontiac did...

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.
