Truck or Tahoe
We are looking at getting another TT. Our current vehicles are a 2018 GMC Sierra SLT and a 2020 Chevy Tahoe Premier. Both have the 5.3L but VIN lookups show they have very different max towing rates....

I was surprised by the trucks 6100lb rating. The only thing I can figure is because of the 3.08 gears.
That's exactly the reason.
My 2015 Chevy was rated exactly the same. Performance wise, it was quite a bit better than my previous 2003 which had the 4.8L and 3.42 gears, which I can only figure is due to the 5.3L engine and 6-speed.
You can SAFELY tow your trailer with either vehicle. It will be down to a matter of comfort. The Tahoe will probably pull it more comfortably. Try them both and see which one you like best. You may be surprised.
There is absolutely NO reason to cower in a corner and fear towing with either of those vehicles.
