Capable and legal are two different words.
Obviously any 1/2 ton can pull up to it's maximum rated weight provided that tongue weight, payload, max axle ratings, and combined vehicle weight ratings are not exceeded.
GENERALLY speaking I have found that most 1/2 ton trucks can pull about 6000 lbs maximum travel trailer with the proper WDH. Obviously some can pull much less, others can pull much more.. but 6K is a pretty good rule of thumb.
So please explain where it is illegal to tow The average and maybe not so average TT with a 1/2 ton. Remember that towing beyond the stated maximum of the door sticker is not illegal. Maybe not smart but not illegal.
