By what I read, the 4.10 rear end will pull 14,000 in a fifth wheel, but the 3.73 is rated about 3000 pounds less.
This gives a pretty good idea. A FW will have about 20 percent pin wt. So a 10K lb loaded weight FW will have about 2K of pin wt, plus about 200 lbs for the hitch. This would be about the limit for the 6.0 with 3.73, due to having to deduct passengers, gear, firewood,etc.
It shouldn't have any issue with the payload of a 10K loaded trailer.
