The Tahoe probably won't make a dramatic performance improvement. If you want more power, and are happy with the size of your Explorer, the new Explorer (and Flex) can now be had with the 3.5L EcoBoost, which has substantially more power than your current motor.
They are also Front Wheel Drive based. FWD does not a good TV make.
The Explorer has a max tow of 5000lbs, and the Flex 4500lbs.
IF you could find a Tahoe with the 5.3, and a 3.73 rear. You would be much better off. A 3.42 rear is too much of a high gear.
