FWIW, from a quick Google search:

Tahoe has a wheelbase of 116". Durango is 119.8". QX80 is 121.1".

Tahoe payload is 1698 - 1745 pounds. Durango payload is 1412 - 1924. QX80 is 1459 - 1621.

Tahoe towing capacity is 6400 - 6600 pounds. Durango is 6200 - 8700. QX80 is 8500.

By the numbers, the Durango will be a better tow vehicle than a Tahoe. And about equal with the QX80.

And all of them are capable of towing a 5500 pound TT. You don't need a 2500 truck.
