If my SUV's towing capacity is 6000 pounds, what should be my safe trailer dry weight?

Ignore dry weight.
Correct and, in reality, disregard the towing rating of your SUV.
Figure what you can tow by using the PAYLOAD rating of your vehicle.
It's all about passengers, gear, the hitch and the loaded tongue load weight....all this needs to be subtracted from the payload rating of your SUV.
