We just traded in my Pilot for a 2005 Yukon XL.....loving the gas mileage already! The trailer I'm interested in weights about 3800 lbs or so, and is an 18 foot Corn Pro 3 horse slant. Anyone pull this with a Suburban/Yukon XL? Do I need a class IV hitch? Sway bars? Anything different? Please don't tell me to go buy a one ton dually now. Some of you men kill me with the big beefy truck talk.....

You have all the truck you need, I would install some wieght distribution bars, and a good brake controller. My wife pulls a three horse Titan(probley a little heavier) with a Cadillac Escalade 6.0 and has no problems at all, so take it from someone who is doing what you are wanting to do, you will be fine.

Class IV hitch, weight distribution bars, anti-sway bar, and brake control. I pull a 2H sundowner with a 4wd Suburban for my runabout rig, usually has one 950 lb mule in it and tack. I do notice when I add a friends 1000 lb foxhunter to the trailer, but do not use this except locally (I use a 1 Ton Dually !!!! for anything over the 2 horse...oooops, I did it)

Personally I dont like a 3H BP, but any problems you may run into wont be because of the truck.

I pulled the exact trailer you mentioned with an Expedition. If I'm not mistaken, the specs on the Yukon are similar and the new ones are probably better.
3 horse with a Yukon XL?
