Lightweight TT Options
Looking at good lightweight options for a TT. Will be pulling with a 2009 Tahoe- 4.8L Vortec- Full Tow Package. I've been seeing all kinds of mixed information regarding the towing capacity, but none...

If you’re talking light, for the most part you’re talking small, too. Low profile is good if you can find a suitable one. If you post your TV specs you’ll get better responses from the posters. And you need to understand the ratings to make a good decision. But from Phoenix you’ll be climbing a lot of grades and I’d try to stay well under your max capacities otherwise you’ll be doing a lot of tiresome climbs.
My TT is an old 16’ and 3000# loaded. I pulled it with a full size Bronco with a 302 and it did well in all the mountain driving I did. It worked harder than my present F150 5.4, but I have no complaints about the 302. I haven’t kept up with the newer TT’s so I can’t offer you any specific suggestions. But you need to research TT’s that fit your requirements and balance that off with the size and weight you’re comfortable towing. Good luck.
