We started out with a used good quality 29 foot travel trailer and 1/2 ton Suburban with a basic draw tight weight distribution hitch and friction sway bar. The first few tows were not comfortable on the interstates with trucks passing and the bow wave of air pushing me around. Later I upgraded to a Reese Dual Cam setup which was very much better. Eventually upgrading to the F250 and that travel trailer was much more comfortable to tow, it felt like it was on rails behind me and towing was not a chore anymore.
I eventually upgraded to a 5th wheel, and while it did seem more stable on the road, I think the travel trailer with the propely adjusted dual cam hitch did just as good.
Start out used with a good quality well maintained unit, the depreciation is mostly done if it has a few years on it, plus if it was owned by someone that took good care of it most of the bugs have been worked out.
The short wheelbase of the Tahoe is the limiting factor that you have, much more than a 20 foot trailer is not going to be a comfortable tow, you will have your hands full especially on interstates.
