I pulled a 7000lb GVWR trailer with a Tahoe with the trailer tow package. The short wheel base of the truck makes for poor towing. I had a lot of sway if there was any amount of wind. I'd recommend renting a trailer first. That will give you a better understanding of what you can tow. Good luck.
Thanks for the quick responses! Yes, sway is a concern, which is why I'd go with a slightly smaller trailer or pop-up. Question: you mention short wheel base. My Yukon is the XL with a long wheel base, which I'm assuming is the same length as a pickup. Would that help? I would also add WDH/sway control if we go with the trailer. And yes, we plan to rent first. While it's hard to find the exact trailer, we can get close to size/weight.
