how much can I safely pull?

I have a 2006 lr3 with a V6 and I am going to buy a travel trailer and the one I want is a 26ft x lite that weighs 4500lbs. I called Land Rover and they said that it was the same as the V8 and that I can pull up to 7700lbs. That just doesn't make sense to me but even at the RV place they confirmed it so my question to all you (the experts) is this going to be safe for me to tow cause I don't want to be blowing my transmission or motor etc... any input will be very appreciated. Thanks
