I've always concerned myself with GCWR instead, but I know with a Tahoe it's unlikely I'd exceed the tongue weight in this measurement. If you have a unibody tow vehicle, the GCWR might be more important to consider. I did exceed the axle rating on one of my first trips when I didn't use a WDH. This could contribute to premature wheel bearing failure, or other mechanical failures related to the rear axle.
