So how many answers do you have that are an actual simple way to tell how much you can tow?
I will tell you, but first I will tell you some other stuff.
The Tow rating is a fictional # that few if any are really able to achieve. Especially for 1/2 tons. It is there simply for advertising.
The heavier you want to go, the more important it is to do your homework. IOW, there is no simple easy way to get close to, but not over your limit.
If you push it without doing the homework, you risk needing to buy a bigger truck for your new too heavy TT... Lots of people get new trucks this way.
So now for my "simple' answer: Just about any 1/2 ton can tow a TT that has a GVWR of 7000# or less.
About now you are thinking that is too low... Right?
Well you wanted simple and easy. That is it.
If that is answer is not to your liking... Then do your home work.
