Not even "ratings" are clear cut.
The statement below that's in the manual that was supplied with your truck and the towing guides aren't clear-cut.
Trailer tongue (trailer king pin for 5th-wheel towing) load weight should be 10% (15% for 5th-wheel towing) of total loaded trailer weight. Make sure vehicle payload (reduce by option weight) will accommodate trailer tongue (trailer king pin for 5th-wheel towing) load weight and weight of passengers and cargo added to towing vehicle.

These ratings can be found on the vehicle Federal Safety Compliance Certification Label.”
