Tundra vs Tahoe towing

[MoneyPity]

Stick with american made....I tow my RZR with a Jeep wrangler unlimited and it has a 3500lb tow capacity. I have trailered over 1200 miles so far this summer with it, not a problem and average about 12.5mpg on the highway at 70.

My 4.7L Grand Cherokee has towed a Four Winds 190 Horizon, a Tige20V and a MC Maristar Sport for well over 20k miles over a ten year span. It has a tow capacity of 6700lbs. Going up long grades it could easily pull the Tige and Maristar at 65-70 mph when in tow mode. We used the Jeep for many single day trips and at various lakes launched and retrieved on un-improved mud and gravel ramps when normal ramps were underwater. It towed easily at 70-75mph. For short trips we preferred it over our Tahoe and a Ford Expedition. We prefered the Tahoe over the Ford. On long trips with family and 3 dogs the Tahoe never had a problem with the load and with the space it was comfortable to ride in for 10+ hours. Of course a Diesel or Dodge extended cab with a V10 win hands down for power. Since we use the Jeep and Tahoe as daily vehicles they perform well towing and regular daily use. Before the Jeep we had a 99 Durango which had no problem with the load but the ride was terrible with the stiff rear end. Like boats everyone has different needs and preferences.

Tundra has a longer wheel base which helps. The acceleration and braking are superior in the Tundra. In terms of just having one vehicle, I'd choose the Yukon and store my boat closer to the lake.

...And replacing fuel injectors on the new diesels at 9 grand a pop every 250000km is not so much fun either. I can replace a lot of gas motors for that price wich last a very long time.

Not sure who you have replace injectors at $9,000 each... or what 250,000km is... but I'd find a new diesel mechanic, or maybe I charge waty too little!!!

I believe in recent year GM went from the 3.73 to the 3.4 gear ratio but kept the tow weight the same. I had a yukon with with 3.73 and it pulled strong. 3.73 are very good all around gears and its a real shame GM went away from them. You can change the geaars to 3.73 and will see a difference. That way you do not need to purchace another vehicle. The higher the number the easier to tow, however the gas mileage goes down.
