Tow vehicle too short of wheelbase???
Recently downsized from 39' 5th wheel & one ton diesel dually to a 30' (box-34' inc hitch)trailer and a 2017 Chevy Silverado Tahoe suv. On tow home from dealership & 1st camping trip (100 miles total)...

Tahoe is a bit short for anything longer than 25' without some serious hitch upgrades and likely some suspension upgrades to the Tahoe. The coil spring and z bar rear flop all over the place compared to a similarly equipped truck. Tahoe is designed for unladen comfort. I just upgraded to a 2500hd so I wouldn't get so beat up and tired on long trips.
As I read into this thread more, I'm thinking the Tahoe is going to be too light.
'bartlettj', I think you make sense and it's why I suggested to set things up correctly with no cost involved just in case this SUV is not the right TV for the OP.
OP, Adding suspension upgrades and H.D. hitches all equals more weight and less available payload on a marginal (or less than marginal) TV and at the end of all this, you still have a short/light Tahoe.
Here is another rv.net post with Tahoe info. IMO, Ron Gratz makes sense.
