maximum towing capabilities with tahoe
I have a 2009 chevy tahoe 5.3L v8 LT model. Standard tow package. It is rated to tow maximum 6500lbs. I want to keep that to 6,000. We tow all over the country, including hilly areas. I am interested...

It weighs about 4800 dry and the cargo weight is about 1800.
When considering mating a tow vehicle to a trailer always use the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)lb. Those dry weights are often under estimated and do not include such things as the air conditioner, awning, microwave, TV antennae, Propane tanks and battery. I bet if you actually weighed that trailer with its "4800 lb. dry weight" you would be surprised to see how much it really weighed.
