1/2 ton towable does not mean towable by all and any 1/2 ton. It is still not within specs of payload and rear axle numbers except for maybe a very specific configuration(2 door, 2x4, HD). As far as being able to pull and brake it seems like a lot of people have been doing it for years without trouble. Could be illegal in your area and possibly a problem on insurance claims.
Most people are probably not even aware of the problem. Brochure said the truck can pull 11,000lbs and the trailer is 8000lbs. No problem. They get in and drive and it goes over the hill and then back down without drama. No problem.
