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.
For clarification, I said HD towing package- which includes the trans cooler as the primary benefit for towing any high walled RV.
The 5.0L/6-spd has plenty of power with any available axle ratio. Trans cooling and payload are limiting factors.
