Can we pull a TT with our ‘20 Suburban
We recently bought a 2020 Z71 Chevy Suburban. We know that the towing capacity for our car is 8000lbs, but we don’t want to meet that capacity because we don’t want something like... the transmission ...

You Burb should have a sticker on the drivers door jamb that shows how much cargo capacity you have. Take that weight and subtract all the weight you'll put in the Burb and thats what you have for the trailers tongue weight.
Towing capacity is not as important. You won't burn up the tranny on a newer vehicle. This isn't the 70's.
Once you find what you have left for tongue weight then start looking at trailers where the tongue weight will be 15% of the trailers GVWR.
i.e 5000 lbs = 750 lbs. There's variables in all this but thats the easiest way for a newbie to figure things out.
