Choosing a smaller Truck to Tow

   Hi, we are going to be buying a Rpod-178 Forest River. We are wanting/needing to buy a smaller truck mostly due to we don't have space to part a full size and my wife is too small to drive one so its not in the cards at all. 
We're looking at the Chevy Colorado, around a 2018. 

There is the V6 2.5L Tow package that has a 5,000 Tow Capacity
     and the  V6 3.6L Tow package that has a 7,000 Tow Capacity

Would either of these be capable to tow the RP-178 ? would the 3.6L be better choice or does it matter much? Gas mileage is also a consideration of ours.

Thanks in advance for your input/thoughts
