You will run out of carrying capacity for the Tahoe at about 6000 lbs trailer weight. This setup should be fine .
Carrying capacity 1733
26 gallons of fuel 208
4 average adults 600
Tongue weight@6000 780
You would have a buffer of 145 lbs left
I have a 05 TAHOE with less carrying capacity towing a similar trailer.
Less passenger weight-2 adults 1 dog and less tongue weight.
Keep in mind the weights stated by the manufacturer do not include options like your 3rd row seat. The best way to have peace of mind is to weight the TAHOE front and rear axel. The more accurate weight of the trailer is inside one of the cabinets. My trailers actual weight is 350 lbs more than the registered weight.
