I read they have over 400hp and torque. How do they tow a 8000+ lb load? I have a 6.0L denali now that makes 345hp. I'm looking for something that has more. Any input?

I do.

Mine's a 2007 with 380 hp in the XL body. Not happy with it at all. Motor seems to be choked down and the trans is confused as hell. I would bet that the 6.0 you have pulls just as well if not better.

Take one for a test drive and you'll see what I mean....

I have the Escalade with it....I noticed what jrkrace said in the first few thousand miles, but it seems to be good now. I do know they will walk all over stangs and keep up with some audi's ....:D

Compared to other tahoe's and burbans ive had, this thing has way more get up...just what ive seen...

...and it sounds DARN good!

I can agree about the sound. But everything else still stands. Had the ECM reprogrammed at the dealer and it has helped a little. But it still shifts sloppy.
