There's quite a difference between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalacians. Also, I believe the Escalade has a more powerful engine than the Suburban and weighs less. My Expedition didn't seem to have any trouble pulling my trailer through the mountains either back to Atlanta from the Reunion.

You are right Charley. The Escalade being lighter, and having 345hp on tap (and not to mention the air ride), probably gives it an edge in towing...the only down side is the shorter wheelbase.

sure it pulled it down some, but the motor would pull it right back. i've had every type tow vehicle you could get in a sport ute. the 345 hp and lighter weight than the suburban made it great. i was really impressed! we own ford, chevy, gmc and more. ther are duallys that would do better than sp. utes with diesels, but, it would take one hell of a sp. ute. to do any better. adding a chip today and will be for sale in 60 days.
