Towing recommendations

I have a 2011 GMC Yukon with 85K miles, towing capacity 8500 lbs. I want to purchase a TT that is 6600 Lbs. What can I expect from a performance standpoint with this combination? Is this a go/no go or marginal idea?
Thanks for your comments. My wife and I are just starting our RV life!

You need to get an Ultralite . I pull with an Expedition-- 8900 lbs towing capacity, little bigger than a Yukon. I wanted a 30 ft TT with a slide and after a lot of research, we got a 2014 Keystone Bullet 285 RLS Ultralite. Weighs just 5400 dry with hitch weight of 600. We don't put a 1000 lbs of junk in our storage bay.. we are careful not to take what we don't need.. maybe total 500 lbs of gear. Never travel with water in the tanks.. Why waste the fuel and add to the weight? There is plenty of water when we get there! We love the Bullet and have NEVER had a single malfunction of any component or any quality issues in 3 seasons of camping. Bullets have deluxe interiors without all the weight. I have seen only positive reviews on this and Keystone sites! Check them out! It will work for your Yukon and you don't have to downsize to a 21-24 ft TT to make it work with your SUV. Get a good WD hitch, I have an Equalizer E2. Sway is minimal and I tow 60-62 MPH. My Expy has a 5.4 L V8 with 3.73 rear end and HD towing pkg ( Trans cooler,brake controller, bigger radiator and brakes, suspension and HD hitch)
Good Luck!
