7000 pounds dry TT is pushing the limits for the most capable half ton, of which you do not own.
Confirm you have the HD towing package, recevier, 7-pin wiring harness. Also verify your axle code/ratio on the driver's door jam is 3.55. If so, then 6k dry is a fairly good comfortable limit for most half tons including yours.
No, he doesn't have the Max Tow or HD Payload package as his tow capacity is only 7500# and MaxTow is not avail with the 5L V8 and HD payload is as rare as hen's teeth. My guess is his GVWR is 7350# and GCWR is 13500#. And his max possible payload would be 1570# but yellow sticker will be less 'cause of factory options.
