doorgunner,

I thought you pulled your AS with a Sikorsky? Did I spell that right?

I have a 2004 Silverado HD 2500 ext cab, 6.0 ltr, 2wd... empty, towing, or Loaded with 1 ton of supplies for the farm, the ride is impeccable for a pickup truck..

18 mpg city and 21 mpg highway is not bad for a pickup either, with the capabilities of it.. perhaps the 4wd makes the ride a bit rougher?

I just bought a 27 ft Safari. I haven't got the vehicle to tow it with yet. I am thinking of a 2007 Denali. What would you all suggest?

Hi, and welcome to the forums!
Your Safari can be towed by virtually any properly equipped 1/2 ton truck, or any 3/4 ton truck I can think of. If you want a Denali, get the Denali XL for the longer wheelbase. The ride is much better, and it is a more stable tow vehicle than the standard, short-wheelbase Denali. The larger engine won't hurt, either.

The Denali is a nice vehicle, I would look into the WD hitch and sway bar system before purchasing, to see whether you can save a few bucks by having it installed through the dealer.. most dealerships have agreements setup with aftermarket places to get better deals, and so forth.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have heard that it is best to modify your transmission and exhaust so the vehicle you tow has less of a strain on it. I'm new to RVing so I'm gathering info.
thanks
