Tahoe is more expensive, but it is a solid towing platform. It suffers in the third row seating comfort since it got that in 2000 thru 2014. Even 2015 is not much improvement.
I am very skeptical and wish people were more honest when saying that they do not even know the trailer is back there. Are you kidding me ? You hook up a 3500 lbs trailer to a CUV with a 3.6 v6 and maybe on a flat road or downhill it may be easy on the car, but moving from a stop sign, or uphill those Lambdas need to work.
My Explorer with 4.6 v8 and "book" towing capacity of 7100 knows when I even pull 4000 behind me.
On the other hand, the newer Traverse, new Acadias with those head lights, and Enclaves are extremely nice vehicles with plenty of room (more than Tahoe that I had in the past).
Things sure do change, my wife's 2.0 liter 4 cyl Ford Edge puts out the same hp and 10 less ft. Lbs. as my 4.6 V8 Explorer. I'm with you though, hesitant to describe trailer towing as not even knowing its back there. Unless the trailer is really tiny, you should feel it back there. I don't think there is a non commercial tow vehicle on the market that wouldn't have longer braking distances with a 2,000 lb trailer attached.
