I was going to suggest the Durango as well based on the before mentioned info. The only thing I didn't like was the ride of the Durango due to the leaf springs in the rear, but that was a couple years ago. The trade-off is that you use these things for towing about 10% of the time, the rest of the time they are the daily driver and need a decent ride then as well.
I feature of the Escalade/Yukon that I definitely like is the tow/haul mode, which changes the shift points for better towing. Also, I have the Autoride feature on the Yukon, that I believe is standard on the Escalade that automatically adjusts the shock damping rate and the ride height. It works great towing and the thing rides as well as my Continental did.
Have you checked out the Lincoln Navigator? A colleague of mine has brand new one and it is pretty sweet as well. Not sure of the tow ratings, but assume it is close to the Escalade.
