Anybody pulling their boats with a Tahoe?

Pulled this beast 60 miles yesterday with my Tahoe. If anyone is considering the Tahoe and you are going to haul your boat get the "max towing package". It's rated to tow 8,300 pounds includes a 3.42 axle ratio and built-in electric trailer brake controller with auto leveling.

First pic is a pano so looks kinda weird.

Thanks everybody. We're in between trading my truck that is almost paid off or wait a little bit while building our saving back up from loosing my job a couple years ago and lawyer bills to sue my ex boss(separate issue) and trading my wife's Malibu ltz That way I get to keep my truck. Might have to wait a year but everybody wins.

I miss my Malibu LTZ...
 
I just towed my boat for the first time with the wife's 2015 Tahoe. Wow, it really does tow the boat well. I had no problems pulling off the ramp at all, and acceleration is good. Our Tahoe must be equipped with some kind of air ride suspension because the tongue weight did not compress the suspension like I thought and I also noticed when I unhooked the trailer I heard a hissing noise coming from the rear axle like air being let out. I need to read the manual I guess.
 
Yep. Have the 2015 LTZ and it does have a weight balancing system. Freaked me out the first time I hooked the boat to hear it kick on and the tongue begin to rise. Love this truck!
