Published towing capacities are basically useless. Still, they don't address major issues like stability and handling. I still contend that its absolutely unsafe for these smallish trucks to haul such heavy loads.
While that may be true and I agree, but you rarely see a 1/2 ton in the ditch while towing. In fact as long as I've been reading on here I can remember if I've actually read about a 1/2 ton getting in a wreck. SUV's seem to be the more common occurrence.
