Rick,
Just a couple of things to keep in mind. The 5,600lb tow rating is based on the "curb weight" of the base model Blazer which includes a 150lb driver and a full tank of gas. You have to subtract the combined weight your Blazers options, passengers, and cargo from the 5,600lbs to get your "REAL" tow rating.
As mentioned, the X19H has a "unloaded" weight (not ship weight) of about 3,600lbs (GVWR of 4,950), so with the Blazer's initial 5,600lb tow rating decreasing, and the "unloaded" weight of the X19H increasing, IMO the Blazer will be fast approaching its weight limits.
Not to say the Blazer can't tow the X19H and stay within it's weight limits, it all depends on "your" loading habits.
Just food for thought.
Bob
