I just drove a new Tahoe for quite a bit. Very impressed with solidity, quiet and ride of the vehicle.
Toyota reliability was mentioned. We just traded in Toyota Matrix. We bought it new in 2007, it was well cared for and we just put a little over 50,000 miles on it, by the time we traded it in, which was Feb., 2015.
We had a number of electronic issues with it and once it went off extended warranty we got rid of it. We won't be getting another Toyota.
We had a Yukon some years ago and loved it. The problem I have with Tahoes is that I don't want the navigator panel. They told me that you had to pay $250 a year if you wanted the maps updated and my Nuvi with lifetime maps came cheaper than that. Also, since everything tied into the panel I saw two problems. One is that I've heard traditional knobs/buttons are safer to operate in a car than touchscreens. The other is that if it goes out you lose pretty much everything it seemed to me. But most of the used Tahoes around here seem to have the panels. Finding one without the panel and with the HD trailering package won't be easy I think.
If I can't, the other options seem to be a Sequioia or an Expedition. I'm more familiar with GM and Toyota than with Fords.
