So now I know what a Gooseneck is, but I don't see and specs on what it can carry!
Even if that stock trailer was aluminum put four good size steers in there and you would be overloaded.

I would like to see a link to that towing guide.

Why is this so difficult?

You can tow any trailer. Your only constraint are the provided tow ratings.

Just because Toyota doesn't separate higher 5th wheel towing specs like the Heavy Duty 3/4 and 1 tons do, does not mean you cant tow one with any 1/2 ton, unless specifically stated by the OEM.

Here is a link to a copy of my referenced pic for the non-believers;

"Toyota Payload & Towing Utility Guide"

I will have to say that is one great towing guide!

One just needs to keep in mind that the biggest limiting factor for LD TV is Tire, and axle ratings, then GVWR.

Most 2500 owners can easily exceed the GVWR, and still be well within the tire and axle ratings of the TV.

1500/150/LD pickups are usually so close to the tire and axle ratings that they will exceed the GRAWR before exceeding the TV's GVWR.

The only LD TV I have ever owned, was a 1964 Ford Econoline van that I hd shoehorned a 302 (AKA 5Liter) V8 and C4 auto with a 9" semi floating rear axle. We towed a 20' Sail boat with that all over Washington. I do have to say it pulled like that boat wasn't back there!!
Once I went to a full size pickup, it was always a 250/2500 with either a big gas engine or diesel, and Full floating 8 lug wheels.
