Too much TT by a good bit IMO. You're at the truck's max with a dry trailer. For comparison sake a buddy has a 2003 Yukon with similar specs as yours and he got a 4000# dry trailer.

So, he'll be upgrading soon.
I think you're on a good path looking out for a 3/4 ton Suburban. Ironically, same friend found one used and bought it temporarily until he could get his next vehicle. I think it's early to mid 2000s. He's selling it in the next few weeks but it's out here in Oregon.... not exactly convenient for you. PM me if you have any interest.
