Tahoe v. Pick-up Truck
The longer the wheelbase of your tow vehicle, the less your TT will throw it around. I used my wife's regular cab pick-up one day to tow the trailer a short ways just to see how it would handle it. Boy was that stupid!! I was all over the road every time I took it up over 40mph. My extended cab pickup is only about a foot & a half longer wheelbase, but the difference is like nite & day!
I don't know the dry weight of your 29 ft. TT, but dont be fooled by the manufacturer's tow ratings. The only way to get your true tow rating is to weigh the tow vehicle with the number of people that would be riding in it when you tow, then subtract that weight from your GVWR. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, whatever is left is what you can legally and safely tow. note: lighter = better!! Just my personal opinion, but if it were me I would be looking at a pick-up, not a Tahoe. In fact if I had it all to do over again, I would buy a 3/4 ton or better, not the half ton that I bought. Good luck in whatever you decide. P.S. do yourself a huge favor and spend the money on a good towing system. I've found the Reese wieght distribution hitch with their dual-cam high performance sway control system to be a real good one for the money. I had the friction bar type sway control first, didn't like it much. For a brake controller I use the Prodigy, very quick & easy to install, & works very well. Again good luck, & safe miles to you! :approve:
