Thoughts and ponderences...
I have a 2009 Tahoe w/5.3L FlexFuel, Z82 towing package, 4wd, 3.42gears, 6-speed auto... Anyone have issues towing with this setup? Looking to pull less than 6K lbs fully loaded (TT). Thanks ...

My advice is just don't go higher than the 6,000 pounds you are estimating your trailer is going to be. For two years I was towing 6,700#s with my 2003 Tahoe with 3.73 gears, and didn't not feel I had the control or power needed to tow 6,700#s. It constantly shifted on hills, and I was pushed around on the road. I was using a weight dist. bars, and a double anti sway system. I was so tired of driving with white knuckles and gripping that steering wheel so tight, I bought a 2007 GMC 2500HD and now have the control and power to take my trailer anywhere. So again, make sure you are not exceeding the 6,000 pounds your estimating and get a good anti sway system since you will have the short wheelbase towing. Hope this helps!
