Mike is spot on...here is the example of what he says...
Most half ton's have RGAWR's in the +4K range
Next higher class will have RGAWR's in the +6K range
About 2,000 pounds more RATINGs
I rarely say "sure you can", nor "no you shouldn't"....but....for this OP...say
you 'can do it', but not for long, nor very well...
I'd not do it and from one who has towed an approx 14,000 lb utility trailer
with my HD half ton, which has a GVWR of 6,200 lbs...am lucky to be alive. Yes
it could and did do it...but not well, nor safely... I still have that Silverado
