my new tow vehicle - well, maybe
Well, I purchased my wife a 2009 Tahoe yesterday, and I am thinking this may be our next tow vehicle. I still have my truck, but I am thinking I will get rid of the fifth wheel and get a bumper pull ...

I have an 03' Tahoe with the 5.3 and 3.73 gear ratio. Pulled a 28'tt that was exactly 6,700# fully loaded. 6,700# was too much for my Tahoe. I could not maintain speeds on highway without transmission jumping around a lot on ANY type of hill. In my opinion was simply too much weight for my Tahoe, but I did not have the 6 speed transmission.
I would go with something in the 5,000# empty weight range and you will be fine. Otherwise I love my Tahoe, been the best vehicle I have ever owned, very few problems so far.
