Merry Christmas Everyone.....Most of you know I have a nice 2002 Envoy 4x4 (not a G80, has the 3.42 diff ratio) It has 190 K miles on it. I use it on weekends to camp and to tow a small 2900 lb trailer (max loaded). I recently got it running perfectly and I really love this Envoy.
Eventually I would like to go to something bigger. Also, I'm planning on getting a boat that will weigh in the 6000 lb range. I realize that will push the limits of my Envoy.
I recently stumbled onto a nice 2003 GMC Yukon XL 2500. It has 4x4 and the 8.1 Vortec. 199K miles. Original owner. Excellent condition. He is asking $7000 but could probably get it for $6500
I realize the 8.1 is a gas hog...about 10 mpg towing. But I don't think I will get much better from my Envoy when I start towing my trailer and keeping it towing in 3rd.
What would you all do?
