midwestmom,
Hankpage & Steve gave you excellent info & sound advice!
As you can see, you'll need a lot more info about a vehicle before you can decide if it's a
good match for a certain trailer.
Given the fact that there's limited info available (online) for the Tahoe, you'll need to locate
some "necessary" weights & numbers before shopping for a more suitable trailer.
On the vehicle: find the cargo/load capacity info sticker... located on the driver's side door frame
or door jam area. Ours (also a Chevy) is white with yellow highlights: "Tire & Load Information".
In small print (right above the tire info) the sticker should state:
"The combined weight of OCCUPANTS AND CARGO should never exceed ____ lbs/kg."
That's your "payload capacity" for that specific vehicle, including any factory options/packages.
There's probably also a maximum loaded 'tongue weight limit' (using a weight distributing hitch)...
stamped on/near the trailer hitch receiver, and that's also very important to know before choosing a
trailer. It's possible that vehicle may not be designed for more than 500-600 lbs of loaded tongue
weight... and if that's the case, your trailer choices will be far more limited.
The "maximum trailer weight" rating & GCWR (gross combined weight rating) are in the Owners Manual.

If you've decided on the Summerland 2600TB... then, shop for an SUV with appropriate ratings... OR,
as Steve said (in part): "that trailer could be pulled very well by any number of 1/2 ton pickups if properly equipped."
Good luck with your decision.
Terri, the co-pilot
