Ford's towing guide uses J2807 criteria:
Note: 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 Safety Compliance Certification Label.
Read it, interpret it and use common sense. Adjust the numbers to fit real world.
