First observation: You're moving a 4700lb SUV with a 3.6l V6 (unless there's other variants), which is barely adequate for the job. Then you add another 2000lbs in the shape of a huge brick. You're lucky you're getting 10mpg. You're lucky you can pull it at all.

I strongly disagree that the GM 3.6 LLT v6 is not adequate in that vehicle. Our traverse is every bit as fast and powerful as my cts.



I can't speak to the trailer.... but it is a fairly large trailer for a v6 SUV.
