Weigh your truck as if loaded for camping. Subtract the scale weight from your 7100 payload. The difference will be how much hitch weight you can safely accomodate.
Not quite.... should read:

For the OP... tow ratings are a sales gimmick. You're main concern with the Tahoe will be it's "payload" rating.....as you will max this out long before you max out the tow rating.
Keep in mind, the "payload limit" will include any and every thing you put in or on the Tahoe....all occupants, equipment, tools, misc gear...AND the tongue weight (including the WD hitch) of the trailer.
Hope this helps..
