As you see from the post on this thread, you can'rt pull anything unless you have a ¾t or 1t truck, which is pure nonsense. I went from a 1t PSD to my current ½t gasser and it is RATED to pull 10.5K and has a payload of just under 2K. I routinely pull 8 - 10K in the mountains of the west and it does an admirable job. I am leaving today with about 8K behind the truck and will be driving 1007 miles over the next 2 days and going up and down between 2,500' and 8,000' and will have NO problems with the tow.
