Towing in the Rocky Mountains
We are looking for a new trailer, as our current one had a "little" accident. We will be towing with our Chevy Tahoe which has a GVWR of 6900 lbs. I am very cautious about the weight we want to pull;...

You can find your Tahoe's specs HERE.
It looks like the only axle ratio available was 3.73.
The GVRW is 6799#.
The curb weight is 5049#.
The payload is listed as 1750#.
Subtract all passengers/cargo/hitch from the payload and that is what is left for a trailer tongue weight. Divide the trailer tongue weight by .13 and the result is the heaviest trailer you can put on the hitch.
But, comfortable towing may be somewhat less than your max payload calculation.
