I asked the very same question just this weekend. If you go by the numbers, the only truck that would be truly capable of towing a fiver would be 1-tons and up. 3/4-tons would be barely able to tow the very lightest fivers. Being a science guy, going only by payload and gcwr just doesn't add up. Unless you want to tow a heavy TT then the numbers make some sense.
I have been towing my '05 32' Montana with my '04 Dodge with a 9k max gvw for the last 11 years. I have been across scales with every thing and persons on board for a two week or more trip and have never exceeded any manuf. limits of my truck. So in my case your theory does not fly. JME.
