If you want an SUV, there is nothing available new rated/capable of towing a 9K loaded trailer, however if you are willing to go used. A 2500 8.1 Suburban or a V-10 or PSD Excursion will work.
If you must have new then any 3/4 ton pick up should do the trick.
I have towed a 10K loaded TT with both my current dually and with a Excursion SUV.
While my dually does a great job I still miss the passenger space of the X.
