Trying to rent a tow vehicle to pull my 5000lb boat from one spot to another. Might be able to get a Tahoe or Yukon. Does anyone know if those 07 models came standard with a tow receiver? I hate asking the rental agency as they frown upon towing.

might tell them you have one of those bike racks that fits in a receiver hitch and if the vehicle you're renting will be equipped with a factory tow package? i am pretty sure that most of the '07's have tow package as an option only but i have yet to see one in all my travels that has not been equipped with tow? then again.. good luck!

Great idea!!!

The problem is it may have a hitch but be lacking the wiring for the trailer.

if it is equipped with a factory tow package it will be pre-wired for tow with a plug to the left of hitch opening..

don't forget the receiver and ball.

i don't know what the rental car companies in Canada are like, but in USA you aren't going to have much luck. <BR> <BR>i only found 2 options: <BR> <BR>1. rent a uhaul. (pretty expensive) <BR>2. find a city-rent-a-truck type place. (also prohibitively expensive if you are thinking about going for any distance or number of days.) <BR> <BR>you best bet is probably to find and ask someone you know that owns a truck.

hertz rents full size '07-'08 suburbans all over the country.. i am a pilot for united and they are always hitting us up for deals on SUV's. the durango is another nice rental option if you can get one with a tow package.. durango's are pretty prevalent too at all the majors..

Most rental companies that i've run across that rent suv's don't even have tow hitches on them. <BR>You'd have to go to a truck rental place and the smallest thing they will rent you is a 3/4 ton. <BR>At least in Ca,.
