Attention all 2014/2015 Tahoe owners. You must verify the tow rating of your Tahoe before towing over 6300lb. The towing info on the Chevy website is false!!! It shows that the standard towing for a Tahoe is 8300lbs. The actual standard is 6300lbs. So if you bought a Tahoe thinking it would tow 8300lbs you could be in danger.
I was forced to trade in the under capacity Tahoe and took a loss of over $5,000 because of. Chevrolet’s false advertising and because even my dealer did not know that standard towing was 6300 and not 8300. Make sure you verify with a reliable source. Older Tahoes may have these same issues also!

I feel your pain man, the first Suburban I bought was a 2010 and the dealer swore up and down that it had the towing package (he kept pointing at the trailer hitch) but when it came to actually towing and I went add a brake controller I found out it didn't have the tow package and could only tow 5000lbs. After going back and looking at the website it was clear that Chevy had all the appropriate disclaimers were there. The dealer was a lying POS. I haven't bought from them since.
