looking at selling my 2004 lifted z71 tahoe and buying a titan. does anyone tow toyhaulers with them and how do they tow. looking at about 7500lbs of toyhauler and toys
I tow a 24' toybox. Its 7200lbs dry. The titan does great. My father has a stock '06 suburban with the 5.3 and tow package. The difference in power and handling is enormous. I did upgrade the titan with air bags, LT tires, and anti-sway control for the trailer, but the upgrades came later. You will definitely not be disappointed with your trade.

The titan has plenty of power and towed my 26ft toyhauler great. You will want airbas though. Just make sure you know where the gas stations are on your trip. The titan REALLY sucks the gas down.

how does it tow with the lift? does it lower the towing capacity?

The truck will do fine with 35's, but it will do a lot better with stock size tires. I had 315/70x17 (35's) on my truck, it was a little to slugish for me, so I went back to a 33 inch tire..

What MPG should I expect pulling a hauler similar to the 23' Weekend Warrior?
I assume a 2WD Titan CC would achieve better fuel economy.
7 - 10 mpg....
