Update after a couple months of towing. Vastly better sway control with the Silverado. Amazing how a longer wheelbase can improve the control.

To answer some questions above the Silverado has D load range tires while the Tahoe has C. Total weight of Silverado and trailer was 11,100.

BUT, just got back from a trip through South Dakota and the Black Hills. I really missed the power from the Tahoe. Silverado was struggling to pull the grades without overheating tranny. Even had to stop once to let it cool down. Only able to make about 25-30 mph going up the mountains. Hate to say it but it looks like I will be going back to the Tahoe simply due to the power issue. In the end will probably be saving up for a new truck. Hope folks can learn from my mistakes!
