Well as you can see. What you can carry is vehicle specific. The TV dealer opens up the Towing Guide and quotes what the vehicle can pull. He has no way of knowing what your particular vehicle cargo capacity is.
There are indeed some "1/2" tons that are built by the factory to handle well in excess of 2000 lbs. of cargo. They are rather rare.
If buy "safe towing" you mean within the weight ratings of your vehicle that is an easy number to figure out with the max cargo capacity on the door jamb sticker and the local CAT scales.
However, safe towing also involved the total rig set up.
