the Tahoe is not even close to the Burb, as a good tow vehicle. mainly due to the much shorter wheelbase.
and the 5.3 is fine, IF you don't have a large trailer.
i have the Avalanche(basically a Burb with a pickup bed). it has the 5.3, 4spd trans and the towing package with the 3.73 rear end.
my max towing is 7200lbs. but i wouldn't go much bigger than the 24' HTT that i currently tow. but i live out West and have lots of mtn. ranges to deal with.
you need to give us some possible TT choices that you have, to see what would be a proper TV.

Similar to Avalanche there is also some great deals on half-ton crewcab pickups around. The longer the wheelbase the better.
