The "tail wagged the dog" towing my 27' with the Tahoe. I wouldnt feel good about a 32', But I was sitting on 22"s. The short wheel base is great in the city but doesnt help when towing. My .02

NO Don't Do It
 
Tahoes are to light. Tahoe are still set up with the 4L60E and I have had several friends that have had issues with this tranny. My best friend works for a extended warranty company and he validates claims for the company. He would definitely tell you that the track record of the tranny speaks for it self. Add a 10,000 pound tow rig and you pretty much can plan on a transmission in 100,000. I checked out the 3/4 ton Suburban and it runs a new transmission that is a new six speed ,, in the past the 3/4 trannies have been excellent. However this one is new ,, so no track record yet. Good Luck. PS I tow with a 2001 3/4 burb with a 496. No problems here but I don't tow a fountain, I have a 5,000 pound 21 footer.

My 2000 35' Classic on an Aluminum trailer with no gas and no gear weighed 10K. I am sure it is over 12K with gas and gear. There is no way a Tahoe can safely tow a 32, and besides that the wheel base is way too short. Even a Suburban is not the greatest tow vehicle because of the longer axel to hitch distance. Your best bet is a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

Smart Choice. Good looking 32 also. I love the solid white.

thats the 29, the 32 will be behind the truck the SECOND this one sells, but that truck pulls it like its not there, and stopping with the trailer brakes and the truck is effortless

Your truck should do fine, but you wouldn't be happy with the way the Tahoe would handle.
