    i have an 07 GC and tow everything up to and including a 230 with it, no worries at all. Some of them have self leveling susp if you look hard enough. I have the V6 diesel but have had an 05 5.7L and it was fine too, just a bit hungry.

      i wouldn't think twice about it. i had an 07 GC with the V-6 and it pulled and stopped a 210 just fine. it is pretty flat around here but we use an extremely steep ramp and it had no problems.

        I'm in a similar situation. I tow a 2006 226 (roughly 5,000 lbs w/ trailer) with a 02' Chevy Trailblazer v6 2wd. I'm really impressed how well it tows around town. It doesn't appreciate road trips, but it does get the job done. Granted I live in Florida, so not many if any hills. I am going to upgrade to v8 truck b/c it does put a LOT of strain on the little Trailblazer if I tow anywhere of far distance.

          Thank you for all of your advice!!! I really appreciate it. We have almost no hills on our longest drive, so that is good. I will take the suggestions and add the trans cooler.
          Thanks again!

            It seems like it should be fine. I'm going to be in the market for a new tow vehicle and the '14 GC is on my list. I don't want to spend big $$. I currently have a Navigator and while I love the truck, I would like to downsize a little. I pull the '11 SANTE 210 twice a year...from the dealer to the lake and then back to the dealer in the fall. I think the GC will do fine. The Dodge Durango is also on my short list. Never owned a Chrysler product so I'm a little nervous to pull the trigger. I figure with Ford, it's a F150 or Expedition. Nothing else has the towing capacity. With GM, it's pickups or the suburban/yukon. Don't want an import. Any other ideas??

              I currently tow my 2010 210 with a 2002 JGC Laredo 5.7 V8 with towing package. I don't tow often, but it wasn't a problem.

                How far is the dealer? Seems like two tows a year a short distance you could pull it with just about anything with a hitch.

                  Another option is checking with your dealer to see if they would transport your boat to and from the lake for you twice a year for a small fee. Most dealers are more than willing to do this if you are not too far away.
