I pull a 6500 pound camper in the mountains of Colorado The temp of the transmission around 190 or so. With the 10 speed transmission 6.2 2023 Tahoe is it safe to be in 6th grear at around 3300 rpm's

Yes, but why? Why not just use tow/haul mode and let the transmission do its thing? And why 6th instead of 7th or 8th if you're going to limit the shifting range? I pull a 7500 lb camper behind a 6.2 with the 6L80. I often run it in 4th at 2.5-3K at 65 mph in rolling hills because 4th is the strongest path through that transmission, and will use 5th if I'm on flat ground or going downhill. My main goal though is the highest gear that will prevent a lot of shifting.

pretty much what you have to be doing around here or you might get ran over, truck and trailer are "limited" to 55 here in cali but pffht nobody does unless there is a cop right there.
