I will say I love the current Tahoes, just too big.

You have your head in the right place, but not your heart.
Look at the other topics about the Equinox and the Traverse where I complained that these "Crossover" designs are not capable enough for real world use and other people came back and argued that there was no need for a midsize SUV when "nobody wants them".
On second thought, you may have missed my past comments because someone went around deleting many of my critical posts.
So, you are definitely on the right side of the fence regarding the absolute NEED for a proper midsize SUV, with a real 4WD system and capable towing.
I have had too many bad experiences with Dodge products in the past to ever consider them. Even if they have improved their reliability since then, I simply cannot support them in any way since they turned me off permanently years ago.
