Chevy saves a Jeep
Took a picture of my tahoe pulling a jeep today. The Jeep belongs to my wife's sister and it died on her yesterday, she lives 40 miles out of town so getting it towed to town would have cost her quite a bit. So I had to go rescue the jeep. Here is the pic just because I know you guys love them.

Re: Chevy saves a Jeep
It tows great. It has the 5.3. So far I towed a 6000 pound trailer of concrete, but that was only a 10 mile pull. And then I towed the jeep, I'm guessing the jeep and trailer weigh prolly 4500 pounds and I pulled it 40 miles through the mountains (started at 3600 ft elevation ended at just above sea level). There were lots of up and downs with about 8% downgrade and 6% upgrade and it did great. I don't have trailer brake setup so I took it real easy on the downhills and never even smelled brakes. Then there was the 6% uphill that is about a half mile long and I held 55MPH all the way up. It pulled nice and straigh, never swayed. Overall I was real happy with it.
