"Payload" and "Tow Rating" has NOTHING to do with what 5er you can tow!!! With a 5er you NEVER will use the front axle capacity that is available. Most important is what is your RAWR??? It's most likely the combined MAX load capacity of your rear tires. Go to the scales with your truck FULLY loaded with bodies, tools, fuel, camping gear, tool box, hitch etc. What does your REAR axle weigh??? Subtract that from your RAWR. Take that number x 5. That is the GVWR of a 5er you can tow if a weekend warrior allowing 20 percent pin. If fulltiming I guarantee you will be closer to 25 percent so take that number and x 4 to see your RV's GVWR.
