Ok it looks like your trailer's maximum weight will be 6200 lbs. You will want a tow vehicle that can tow at least 9000 lbs. You can check the suburban or yukon tonsee what they can tow

I have a small trailer with a max weight of 3800lbs. I drive a tacoma that can tow 6600. It hauls well but the mpg is cut in half

Whatever you use, make sure you have at least 1/3 extra capacity in your tow vehicle. Dont listen to a salesperson who simply quotes the spec sheet. The vehicle will be able to handle the weight but will struggle on hills, with wind and you wont have any reserve power for emergencies

Hope this helps
