Under 6k dry is a good number for most half tons, including yours. Payload, receiver limit are likely to be exceeded when towing an RV near the tow ratings.
Good advice. At 6,000 pounds total weight, your tongue weight should be in the 750-900 pound range which will leave you some room for passengers and "stuff" before running out of payload. People that exceed their payload are often on here asking about better hitches, overload springs, Timbrens, gear changes, or such. Hardly ever about engine power.
