Is this a previous police vehicle? Do you know what that tow package consists of? I am assuming there is a 2" receiver at the back, does it have any weight specs on it? Is there a wiring harness back there for a trailer umbilical cable?
Out of the gate you need to know weights. Your Springdale has a gvwr of 7740lbs. and length of about 30' - that's more than a Tahoe, new or not, needs to be strapping on the back. That short wheelbase can't control that trailer if it gets out of hand. What does the sticker inside the driver door say your payload is (cargo carrying capacity)? Do you have the 4.8L or the 5.3L? What's the rear axle ratio (3.06/3.42/3.73?) and is it the 6 speed or 4 speed tranny?
Lots of questions I know but lots you need to know, along with us, to have any idea if there is a safe way to tow that trailer with that vehicle. What are you going to do for a brake controller? Tires are probably P rated car tires and suspension is for street ride vs towing a trailer. LOTS of things to consider.
