Does anyone have an opinion on towing with a 2016 Yukon XL? The receiver in the bumper would require about a 10” drop for my FX. Is that acceptable or is there an option to add a lower receiver? Suggestions please.

Im sure whatever drop you would need is perfectly acceptable. They have the same drive train as the trucks so im sure it will tow fine.

I doubt you would need a 10 inch drop but who knows. Did you lift it or add bigger tires?

I guess I should have been clearer. With the receiver mounted in the bumper, instead of under frame like most vehicles I've had, it will require about a 10" drop. I was hoping that someone has a similar setup that I could replicate. 10" seems a little much.

If it's a Class IV receiver it won't be a problem. Bumper or not.
