the OP is talking about a TT over 29' long! and a GVWR around 7600lbs.
i owned a 5.3 Avalanche(Suburban with a bed), which has a longer wheelbase than a Tahoe.
i would NEVER tow a 29' TT with it. it had the factory tow package and 3.73 rear end. but its max payload was only 1357lbs. and tow max was 7200lbs.
People with 2000-2006 3/4 tons (2000 pounds of payload) are comfortably towing 35' TTs. I tow a 32' TT plus 2' for the cargo tray/bike rack. Pay attention to suspension on the half tons which is limiting as you suggest with under 1400 pounds of payload.
Power: the 6-spd trans offers 4 usable towing gears with a much deeper first gear than the prior generation's 4-spd. Not fast, but plenty of power if you let the engine spin over 3000rpm.
