Ok, so I found out my Tahoe has the 4 speed transmission. Is that worse than the 6 speed for towing?
yes.
and i don't think your Tahoe can tow 7100lbs. with the 3.42 rear end ratio. and you never stated whether you Tahoe has the HD factory tow package.
my 2007 Avalanche has the 5.3 and the 4 spd. trans BUT it has the 3.73 rear end ratio. its towing capacity is 7200lbs.
so, since your Tahoe has the 3.42 rear end, its towing capacity should be much less than mine. that rear end ratio lowers the towing capacity. unless it had the 6 spd. trans.
i said you should be able to tow the Roo but you haven't provided info about the HD tow package. but a lot has to do with pulling that trailer through the air and that 3.42 doesn't help.
