The rear is 3.92. I'm looking at possibly towing something in the 17-19' range.
I currently tow a dual axle 19' travel trailer that typically averages ~ 4500 lbs loaded for camping with a 1/2 ton 5.3L Chevy Avalanche ... no way would I consider towing it with a small V6 truck like yours. A 3.92 axle will certainly help but realistically you should be looking at a lighter weight single axle trailer weighing well under 3000 lbs dry. Preferably that trailer would be low profile to minimize drag on your vehicle caused by wind resistance but if you're set on a full height travel trailer you might find something in the Coachmen Apex Nano series, though even those may be a bit porky.
