Avalanche vs Tahoe
I don't have a TT yet, but am looking at both fiberglass (Casita, Scamp, Escape) and small, lightweight toyhaulers (for the flexible space, not actually hauling toys). 8000 lbs max, probably much les...

The Avalanche is on the same chassis as a Suburban and the Tahoe is on a shorter chassis. The Avalanche will have limited payload. I don't think there's enough payload on either truck for an 8k trailer. I think the payload will be around 1,300#, depending on trim level. I have a newer Avy and payload is my limiting factor. My thought is that the Avy will be very stretched even at 6k. The Avy is a heavy truck and a bit on the sluggish side compared to the new trucks. The Tahoe is probably lighter and snappier, but the shorter wheelbase may be a factor to consider if the trailer is on the longer side. Both trucks seem to fetch a premium price in the market relative to similarly equipped/type vehicles.
If you are a GM fan, I would suggest a similar year CC Silverado with max tow package.
