Default Towing with 6.2l 3.23 gear ratio

I have a 2018 Silverado with the 6.2l engine standard tow package with the 3,23 gear ratio. I'm looking at a travel trailer with a dry weight of 6494 lbs, I already tow a travel trailer now with a dry weight of around 4600 lbs which tows really well even up grades. Anyone else towing with this setup and what is the max you have towed? I've watched those Fast Lane Truck videos where they tow up the Ike Gauntlet with a 9000 lb trailer with the 6.2 and 3.23 without a whole lot of problem. Thoughts?

Keep it out of OD on upgrades. I'd switch to a 3.73 Axle ratio myself. 3.23 is not enough IMO.
