RE: Tire Recommendation for Tow Vehicle
^ Toyo AT and Nitto Terragrapplers are both excellent choices with the Nitto being a better price point and the Toyos being a bit quieter.
Regarding snow traction, both are quite good and Cascade Concrete is about the worst possible combination of barely frozen water and high overall moisture content.
Worth noting, as good an all around tire as the Toyo AT is, for wet and snow traction, siped Toyo ATs are literally on par with dedicated snow tires with better overall treadwear.
That said, if primarily hauling heavy (TC, heavy pin weight etc), that condition will cause quicker treadwear if siped, whereas moderate weights (like a TT) will not.
Barring other factors like driving style and surface/geographical conditions.
In general, aftermarket siping does not appreciably reduce tire tread life in my experience, despite the logical thought that it will.
Just food for thought.
It’s one of those old school “tricks” that really does work and with zero risk.
I also like the siped tires, no longer buy dedicated snow tires.. you have to be careful on gravel roads though, aggressive driving can cause issues. I just drive slow and easy on the 1/2 mile gravel road we have before the highway.

RE: Interesting new navigation app for Android
Not sure what actual price is, it says in app purchases from $3.49 to $99.99, wonder what it actually costs (perhaps I missed it).

RE: Concerns about golf cart roof in back of pick up
Golf carts are normally designed to be hauled to golf course (not everyone rents or stores golf cart at golf course). Make sure it is in good shape and secure it if you want.

RE: tow with all wheel drive?
2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali has AWD (page 4-8 in manual)
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
With this feature, engine power is sent to all four wheels
all the time.
This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no separate
lever or switch to engage or disengage the front axle. It
is fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed for
road conditions.
I don't know what years have AWD, we had one and it towed fine with AWD.
