Sad to say your 2004 is maxed at 14,900 pounds but none of the other truck makers were any better. If you were to upgrade to a newer truck you'r be towing more. My 2013 dually Duramax is rated for a 22,500 5th wheel and it's payload is 5,000 pounds. My 19,000 pound toy hauler puts 3500 pounds on the pin.
