I have a 2005 denali and was wondering if it would be ok to tow my 31foot scarab let me know

If your Scarab is a carbon fiber boat with no engine in it and sits on an aliminum trailer you should be alright. If it is a normal 31 with either a big block or two small blocks the answer is no.

the air suspension in the back wont allow the truck to be levelled in my opinion. hook it up before you buy it and see how it goes!

Like always, it will tow it, but it won't be safe.

This is correct, now if its the Denali XL, that helps. Pretty much the biggest boat we pull with a Denali XL is a 30 Baja, probably very close to the size and weight of a 31 Scarab. That allwheel drive will wear out if you do allot of heavy towing also.

keep trailer brakes high on your list.

How much does the scarab weigh? I love towing with my denali. Its very stable when driving with the boat. I can cruise comfortablly with mine at over 85 on the highway. The breaks are the only thing that aren't that great but it could just be my driving style since mines supercharged and I push it harder than I probably should.

I'm not sure thats true. I believe the suspension is autoleveling. I have an 03 Denali thats lowered 3" in the back and my truck sits level with the boat attached to it. I am only pulling a 3300lb boat though with an aluminum trailer though. Ive got around 500lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk also so that wouldn't help it be level either but it is.
This picture was taken when it was parked on a hill but you can see its pretty level even with the truck off and the air suspension not on.


The brakes definately would need to be addressed. My trailer has brakes on it and my Denalis brakes still take a beating when towing and I am sure the scarab would make the situation even worse.

well the good thing is it is the wifes truck so not bad i got a 96 f350 that works perfectly fine just want the cushiony ride

i have 01 xl tows my 35 lighting fine air leveler works fine. see picture left

Just curious... Is a Denali a special version of the Surburban/Tahoe or is it a styling package? I have 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 big dually crew cab, and that has also the name Denali. It is equipped with a different front (like the white on the picture with the Scarab) and some extra door panels, crome door handles, painted wheel/fender flares ++.

I was told it was a Denali version, but I cant find that name anywhere on the car or in the papers. It is said to be as delivered from the factory.

Thanx
