Actually it's a 3.6L Pentastar engine (we don't make a 3.7L anymore).
My TT ratings for this generation JGC are:
26Ft. maximum length.
6000# maximum weight.
A WDH with true (non friction) integrated sway control (such as the Hensley).
We towed much larger trailers during the development of this vehicle under very difficult temperature and grade conditions. I am certain you'll have no issues if you stay with those recommendations (despite what the naysayers have been saying).
For the Overland max payload is 1090 lb. With a 6000 lb trailer the tongue weight is approx 900 lb. That leaves 190 lbs for cargo passengers etc.
I wouldn't be towing a 6000 lb trailer with that vehicle.
