We used to tow a 21' tt that was somewhere near 4500lbs dry with a 2005 avalanche 1500. Had bike rack with 2 adult mtn bikes on the bed cover, bed loaded with gear, 17' canoe on roof, kids, dogs, etc. It was a great vehicle and towed our camper very well. We would probably still have it, but our family outgrew both truck and camper.
Edit- The Equalizer hitch on our current tt is not drilled into the trailer a-frame, it clamps in place. Also, our Avalanche did not have factory air suspension. Over certain bumps the truck would "porpoise" bounce front to back. I put a pair of Air-lift brand suspension airbags in the rear coils, and the truck was very stable after that. I put Timbrens bump stops on the rear suspension of our current tv and they also work great.
