So far the 2006 Chevy Tahoe has been showing up on my research a few times. The LT and Z71 has 295hp and 335 ft-lbs torque at a price of $12k. That's my max budget. I would like to find a TV in the $10k range.

My Tahoe setup
We first towed with a Tahoe and a similar rig. Check out the link above.

For a dedicated TV, get any 3/4 or 1-ton ton gasser you can find. I like GM's 8.1L and Ford's V10 from that era. You'll get the same towing fuel economy with far more power and comfort from the stronger chassis. And you won't have to worry about finding one with the right equipment for towing an RV (engine, trans, HD cooling, etc) - they all do. You may get a larger fuel tank making your range better too.
There are plenty of them under $10k.

I had an older Tahoe and it was OK, not great, but it was 99 with older 5.7.
Question - how many people and gear in the truck ?
I would go with Z71 since they had 3.73 and tow package in the "Z71" already (at least that's what I remember).
The LT, even with every luxury option may not have the tow package, or 3.73 gears.
