I am in process of purchasing the escalade ESV : year 2008 with 6.2 liter engine, my question is:
can this vehicle setup be able to tow a boat with trailer which weight 8200 lbs>
most of the towing is within less then 400 miles of driving.
i have only one trip per year which is for about 800 round trip of hauling
over some moderate passes and good size hills ( vancouver island):
will the transmission handle the tow requirements,?
does the ESV model come with a transmission cooler?
is there anything special I have to do in order to get the ESV model ready for towing.
I currently own a ford 350 superduty 6.0 liter turbo engine, but would like a third row seat for family trips, which is reason why i am looking at the escalade ESV model
thank you
