Best 4wd Vehicle To Tow 6000lb Boat & Trailer?

[Mad Maxx]

My Uncle is looking to Buy a New Truck or SUV to tow his Boat with. It's a 6000lb Boat, plus the Trailer which prob. weighs another 700-900 Pounds.

He lives down in Florida and says it's very hard to find a 4wd Truck. Which I can understand because there isn't really any need for one in FL for the Average Person.

It must be 4wd and be able to Tow AND Stop what he has. I already told him to just get a Diesel, but he said that's way Overkill for him.

So what do you Guys think?

Tahoe or Yukon? Those should pull that just fine.

How about an Avalanche? That would do good too right, since it's basically a Tahoe / Yukon.

My cousin has a malibu and my Tahoe towed it perfectly. I am guessing it weights close to the same as what you are requesting.

An avalanche is closer to a Suburban(it sits on a Suburban frame) than a Tahoe. I really like the Avalanche, they drive nice and have built in coolers in the side of the bed with drains!

When he gets the trailer I request a duel axle trailer with surge brakes. It makes it tow a lot nicer than a single axle. I just like having the added security with the brakes.

Yea, I loved my old Av. Rode REALLY nice. Didn't have any problems Towing what I used to with it.

An Avalanche would work fine. Mt buddy pulls a 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer all winter with his. No problems at all.
