I'm sure the mom driving around the Tahoe doesn't give a shite about towing

I think that may be some of the problem.
Soccer moms started driving SUV's and pickups.

Auto makers started making vehicles to suit their needs better, such as crossover SUV's that do get better milage, but you can't force someone to drive something they don't want.

Chevy makes the Tahoe so that it can tow.
They also make other SUV's that are more soccer mom family oriented, but you still have a choice on what you buy.
