Re: 2013 Tahoe for towing.
Surprising to me that the differential going bad would be the drive train's weak link that would fail first. I would've thought the transmission or engine temperature would max out and one of those components would crap out. While it's still under warranty I think I'd try it again. You might find that the rear end was faulty from the factory and the additional load from the trailer wiped it out.
I'm a Florida flat-lander but I've towed a lot of stuff that exceeded the tow capacity of some of my puny tow vehicles. Overheating, transmission trouble, but never had differential trouble.
