Some years ago I towed a 6000# 24' trailer with a 1/2 ton suburan with air bags on it and it was marginal at best and when I blew a rear tire on the suburban it was down right scary until I got it stopped.
Also you can't tow in overdrive or you will overheat the trans.
I startend using a 3/4 ton PU and it was a little better and then I purchased a used dually and except for the poor gas mileage it did the job perfectly.

Best of luck.
