Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback. Our Tahoe has the 3.08 axle and the hitch is rated for 10,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight. It looks like I need to find a lighter trailer. Do you think I would be ok with something similar length and lighter weight, like 4,000 lbs dry? That would keep the total at around 5,000 loaded. We are looking to buy a new trailer and not change the tow vehicle for some time. So I would like to get the nicest and largest trailer we can safely pull.
Thanks,
Shane
the hitch receiver(not hitch)rating of 10,000lbs is for the receiver alone, NOT for what your Tahoe can tow. GM puts that same receiver on many different GM vehicles that all have different tow ratings.
i owned a Chevy Avalanche which had the same receiver. its actual tow rating was nowhere near 10,000lbs.
