Also consider weight and balance on your load if you are going to tow. You need 10 to 15% on the hitch and need to be able to position that load on a trailer being able to achieve that. Is that truck a 133 or a 157 wheel base? You need room on that trailer to get your balance correct. At that your hitch load could be 1300 lbs or more. Thats getting heavy. Any more or less as a percentage of load on the hitch with a small pull vehicle you can really get in trouble. Too light becasue your balance is off and it's suicide. A Tahoe is not a lot of tow vehicle when your loads are in the 8-10k range. You also have to consider what your hitch is rated for in pull and tongue weights. Most typical half and 3/4 tons do not have 10k rated hitches, ball mounts and hitch balls. You will need a weight dist. hitch and a brake controller. Depending on your vehicles GVW, GCVW, front GAWR, rear GAWR and tire rating you may actually have too much load for that Tahoe.

Anybody that's ever towed heavy with a light tow vehicle knows what I'm talking about and that's a long haul if everything isn't optimal. I don't know that area but if I recall my grade school geography at all it's certainly not dead flat all the way. That makes a light tow vehicle even worse and all the other concerns even greater.
