I have a 2017 tahoe with a 6 speed and max towing. Its a great truck but it just seems a little light on power when I tow with it. I drag a 16 foot enclosed trailer with a couple quads and a UTV, it probably ends up around 7k lbs all told. I drive from new york michigan, so its not real hilly but the speed limit is from 70-75. Even when I'm towing on a fairly flat stretch, it seems like the truck just wont shift to the next gear. Its loud and it drones and groans for most of the 8 hours! I assocoate this with being underpowered therefore unable to shift into the next gear and sustain the load.
Im considering a supercharger but Im concerned that it wont help at all with where the truck shifts.
Im also considering upgrading to something with the 6.2L and a different transmission, however with prices the way they are, Id rather just modify mine if there's a way
Anyone else have this issue or have suggestions as to how I can give it a little more juice? I have a diablosport tuner, and a volant air intake (which just made it way louder unfortunately). The tuner seems to have capability to change things other than the canned tunes, but I dont know what Im doing enough to play with individual parameters.
