We tow a 25' Essex boat...combined weight with trailer 6,500 lbs. The GL does good, but you can definitely tell it is back there. We were spoiled by the power of our diesel Excursion before. Also the mirrors on the GL are smaller so when we look in the mirrors all we see is boat. All in all the GL does good, but I would prefer not to tow with it, we are going to buy another diesel truck to tow our toys.
