So confused with tow capacities

We are currently looking into a GMC 1500 Sierra or Chevy 1500. We want the max trailing package but the websites are so confusing. The trailer we are looking to pull weighs 8100lbs dry. It is impossible to find a truck here with the 3.73 axel ratio. We would have to get the 3.42, even when I try to build and price directly from the website I can't get the 3.73 ratio to be an option. Do you think the 3.42 ratio is sufficient to pull it. They have a 9,600lb max trailering capacity.

[COLOR=]A 8100 TT is likely a pretty big one. YThat means that it will likely be loaded with a LOT more stuff.... All those cabinents and storage that look so impressive on the dealers lot,,,, well they are useless if they are empty.
You can be over 10K real easy.
In short.. No can do. Need a bigger truck.
