2001 Ford Towing Guide
You read the weight table incorrectly, the GCWR is listed in Kg, inside the parentheses is listed lbs.. Now that that is settled, disregard it totally.
Unless you have a hitch receiver, the limit on the bumper is 4000 lbs.. I wouldn't try it.
What ultimately limits any vehicle for RV towing is the Payload. You may have a sticker on the driver's side door jamb that lists "All cargo and passengers not to exceed _____ lbs". That is your payload capacity. The tongue weight of the trailer and all cargo shouldn't exceed the payload rating.
