Exclamation Towing question - Help is appreciated

Hello all -
Just a quick question. Looking at towing a fully loaded Chevy Tahoe with a Uhaul auto transport(dual axle trailer). Is this possible? I've got a KC 4x4 with Big Tow. I'm new to the towing game and looking to transport the Tahoe over 1500 miles. What are my limitations concerning this type of towing? Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I towed a '56 Chevy about 200 miles on a Uhaul transport using my Crew Cab about two months ago and couldn't tell I was even towing anything. Click on the link below for more information.

U-Haul won't rent you a trailer to tow a Tahoe, it's too heavy for their trailers. The Titan would pull it no problem, but I'd be concerned about the trailer, it would be way overloaded. Sure you could tell them you are pulling something else, but you would be screwed if anything happened.

Thanks for pointing that out for texag. The Uhaul link I posted states the trailer limit as 4,000 lbs. I looked at a Tahoe site and most of them weigh 6,000 lbs or more.
