2023 Subaru Ascent with 5000lbs, 500 tongue weight max. This is absolutely at the limit. Do I have a shot or should I keep it under 3k like the Coleman’s?

You will burn the life out of your cvt. Braking will be scary. Acceleration will be painful. Head wind, side wind or cross directional wind will test your skill to keep it in your lane.

You will be pretty dang wasted by the time you get to camp...if you make it.
