Something is mechanically wrong with your Tahoe or your expectations are really high.
Sounds like you would be happier with an MDT to handle that 3200 lb. boat....
You were kidding, right?
What we don't know here is the year of the Tahoe he's talking about. We had a '95 Burb with 3:42 gears and it did OK towing our old 17ft hybrid trailer (GVWR 3500#), but certainly not great. And it struggled through mountains with that small trailer. On the other hand our Trailblazer with the I6 was a far better tow vehicle than that '95 Burb, and towed that trailer through mountains without difficulty. In '96 they gave the V8 a HP and torque boost.
