I have a 2018 Express with a V6, 4x4, 3.55s. Tow my 5500 lbs camper pretty regular. Have a Recurve R3 weight distribution hitch and a brake controller mounted under the drawer in the center console. Painting and updating the inside of the camper right now. Actually typing this while taking a break. Lol.

Those 3.6's are a stout engine. We have one in our Durango. Much stronger than the 3.9 I had in Dakota. I pulled a utility trailer around with it a lot. Weighed in at 3,500 with all of my gear in it. Moving a couple times I had closer to 4,200 & it struggled through the mountains. I now have a 2500 with the 6.4 & 4.56 gears to pull our heavy (13,500lb.) 5th wheel.

I tow with my 3.6 occasionally. My '70 Beetle fits nicely. The trailer weighs about 2100 lbs. and the Bug runs about 1850 lbs. I've gotten anywhere from 10.5 to 13 towing. I originally had a '12 Hemi RCSB when I bought the trailer. I was a little worried when I went to the 3.6 but have been totally satisfied. Great mpg when I don't tow.

I think a lot of people that plan on towing go with the hemi, as well as the ones who think they might and feel its better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

I tow with my V6 but it's not the one your asking about...lol Mine doesn't have spark plugs but it is turbocharged. There is 28' enclosed trailer when loaded is in the 8K lbs range, usually about 14-15mpg. Also have a 24' enclosed(15-16mpg) and a 17' boat(20mpg) unless it's really windy.

You should have been more specific with the title on which V6 you wanted to know what people were towing with. You didn't even mention being specific about it in your post.
the devil is in the details..
