It does NOT have the HD towing package.

It has a receiver that says the GTW is up to 5000 lbs.

Is that the end of the story? 5000 pounds?
Again, you've misread the information. The receiver should be stamped and I would bet it is stamped "500 lbs.". Now that this is sorted, disregard that, also. If you will be using a weight distributing hitch (highly advised), your vehicle's receiver is rated for 810 lbs.
