Tow Vehicle Upgrade

We recently purchased a 2010 Jay Feather 213 EXP and planned to tow it with my 2010 GMC Canyon and my wife's 2011 GMC Acadia.



After towing it locally in Florida with my 5.3L V8 powered GMC Canyon, I knew that my wife's 3.6L V6 powered GMC Acadia was not going to be up to the task of towing it in the Smoky Mountains, where we will be doing some camping. Towing it with the Canyon on long trips with a family of 5 was just not appealing.......so.....after consulting with some friends of mine who also happen to be my mechanics......this followed us home yesterday.



It is a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban LT 4WD. I don't believe it will have any trouble towing the Jay Feather.

I think you'll be happy with it, it's not impressive power wise if you still got the 5.3l, but will control the weight much better
