[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 502214, member: 23735"] The hitch ratings you read on the hitch are only for the hitch, disregard. You need to do more work. Disregard the max tow rating in the owner's manual, it assumes a lot of unrealistic things. The tahoe will most likely be limited by its gvwr rating which is stamped in the driver's door jamb. The tongue weight on the toyhauler is probably dang high but to be safe you should assume at least 15% of the gvwr of the trailer which is also stamped on the trailer somewhere. The LOADED weight of the tahoe, that is hitch, gear, people, and fuel added to the 15% of the trailer gvwr should not exceed the truck gvwr. Do not use any published numbers for the weights, only the weight ratings. To be even more accurate, you should weigh the trailer tongue when the trailer is loaded. You will be weighing several things so you might try to find a closed weigh station or a CAT scale somewhere to spend some time. What you will probably found, and what I have found with a half ton truck is that you can not haul a toyhauler legally. [/QUOTE]
