A manufacturer's rated of capacity of 6600 should be more than plenty for any TM. This is a recent addition to the MB line, so the towing capacity is "real". Until a few years ago, they were mostly marketing numbers, but now they are evaluated against a spec called SAE Standard J2807, which lends some credibility to the tow ratings.

With a wheelbase of 115 inches, you will probably need a weight distributing hitch (WDH), but you shouldn't need sway control. (These are body things, not horsepower things.) If you scroll to the top of the forum and look in the Trailmanor Technical Library (aka TM Info You Won't Find Anywhere Else), you will find good articles on both. Check them out!
