#12 of 16 2007 Yukon XL Denali - Towing - Electronic Brake Controller by jojohnson Nov 05, 2007 (12:42 pm)
Replying to: dtown40 (May 06, 2007 5:02 pm) Just purchased my 2007 XL. I am looking for instructions to install an electronic brake controller. I tow a travel trailer and need to hook up my electronic brake control. Can anyone provide such instructions or point me in the right direction?
#13 of 16 Can I tow a 30' camper with a 1997 Yukon by nitro6 Mar 13, 2009 (4:29 am)
HI Is it possible to pull a 30' camper with a 1997 Yukon? It has the 5.7 V8 engine. The problem I'm having is when I hook up the camper the front end lifts up and it feels like I don't have alot of control in my steering. Is there something out there that can be added to help level out the camper and keep the front end from lifting up? The camper has a GVWR 9100 lbs. The Yukon has a GVWR 6800 lbs...I also have stabilizer bars cranked out to the max. Thanks for your help. Replies to this message: racer29 (Mar 13, 2009 5:26 am) rsht (Mar 16, 2009 3:23 pm)

Replying to: nitro6 (Mar 13, 2009 4:29 am) you are at the limits towing 9100lbs ..... a weight distributing hitch should help with the front end lift, helper springs on the rear would also be a plus

Replying to: nitro6 (Mar 13, 2009 4:29 am) You may want to consider installing a set of air shocks like those from Monroe called the Max-Air:   http://www.monroe.com/products/maxair.asp?currItem=_level0.mcMaxAirHeader&currSu- bItem=_level0.mcMaxAirHeader.mcHeader&rolloverObj=[object+Object]   I am not sure your exact model (i.e. 4-door or 2-door, either 2WD or 4WD), you may find your exact fitment via the e-catalog from Monroe:   http://www.monroe.com/catalog/ecatalog.asp   There are many brands and options out there for your application, a set of air shocks or Shocks with coiled over Helper Springs are probably one of the less expensive ways to enhance your Yukon's load capacity and control... I am only using Monroe as an example for your reference. Depends on how much time and money you plan to spend, there are some pretty extreme mods out there...
#16 of 16 Trailer Towing Button Switch by needlenose Sep 04, 2009 (10:04 pm)
Trying to locate a forum here that refers to issues with the Tow Button not working on 2005 YukonXLT 2500. If someone could direct me there, it would be appreciated.
