Chevy Tahoe 5.3L as tow vehicle
2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 5.3L that I tuned for performance. 3.42 gear ratio, stock. I didn't buy it for towing but now am stuck with it for the next year. Want to pick something it can comfortably tow...

Ditto a large external ATF cooler.
If you have the tow package, there already is one and add a 2nd in series to that OEM
If no OEM external ATF cooler, install it on the hot line from the tranny...DO NOT use a saw to cut the tubing...use a plumber's wheeled cutoff tool.
Stacked plate is best, but tube-fin also good. Just bigger vs same cooling from a stacked plate
Suggest while at it...change the ATF fluid to synthetic
