Yes, but they also only list maximum.
On EDIT: Really most point to the beloved "Yellow Sticker" my feeling it is nice for on the lot comparison, BUT in reality, load the TV up as you would ready for a trip and get it weighed, Front axle and rear axle.
I am not the weight police, I run over GVWR, but within all other ratings.
Yes, I do believe a 1/2 ton can pull a 5er, more safely than a TT. The right TV and Right trailer and it will work well.
Even the beloved yellow sticker doesn't solve it because it doesn't list the curb weights. Big difference between a shortbed regular cab vs a longbed 4 door with the same sticker.
I don't believe the SXT and other trim levels typically have much impact (the HD rating does) but 10 different ratings usually sort themselves out when you enter the cab type, box length and engine.
Trailer life calculator is a good start but drops the ball at the end and totally cops out on the 5th wheels. After that, you have to pull up the PDF and read it checking all the footnotes.
