Porpoising?

I have a 2011 Tahoe with the tow package. On the hitch it says I can tow up to 5000# and tongue weight of 600# with no WD hitch. With a WD hitch it jumps to 10,000# and 1000#. I hooked up 3300# (according to NADA guide) 2002 24' Palomino Stampede S23S5L to my Tahoe with just the tow ball no WD hitch(don't have one). As a newbie in towing things, I thought it towed rather well except for the fact that I felt EVERYTHING, it was kind of making me nauseous. It stopped well, and I could start off from a stop no problem. Just felt like I could feel every little dip in the road or bump, like it was putting a lot of pressure of the back of the Tahoe. Is this normal and would a WD hitch help?

So some new information has come to me, I do not have the upgraded tow package. According to the owners manual, with my set up, maximum trailer weight is 5200#, GCWR is 11,000#

Get the WD hitch and depending on how much you tow if you dont have tow package look into having a trans cooler instaled
