Depending on the axle ratio and if it's 2X4 or 4X4, your truck is rated to tow 6000 to 6800#. But your payload capacity is a more important figure than tow capacity.
Quote numbers like that to any newbie and they'll always mistakenly assume they can actually tow a trailer weighing that much. Not even close, particularly when they're talking about towing a full height trailer that has all the aerodynaics of a barn door. That wee 4.6L is already tasked with dragging around 2.5 tons of truck ... asking it to also tow another 3+ tons of trailer will more than double the task and
really make the truck work, even if equipped with a 4.10 axle ratio.
