Can I tow this trailer with this Tahoe?

What do you think of towing this trailer:

GVWR: 5495
Dry Weight: 3950
Dry Tongue Weight: 363
Overall Length: 26'3

With this tow vehicle
2010 Chevy Tahoe LS 2WD
Axle: GU6 - REAR AXLE, 3.42 RATIO
Trailering Pkg: K5L - TRAILERING PACKAGE, HEAVY-DUTY includes KNP external transmission oil cooler and KC4 engine oil cooler, provides increased trailering capabilities Includes GU6 3.42 rear axle ratio
Max Trailer Wt: 8400
Max Trailer Tongue Wt: 1000
GVWR: 7100
Max Payload 1733

Third row seats that came with it have been removed. They must weight ~75 lbs. Maybe more

I am looking for trailers that I can tow safely with this vehicle. I'm aware that Tahoe's are not the best tow vehicles. Please comment and/or offer alternative TTs.
