I got to ask. where did you get that number? He already stated his tow capacity was 11,600lbs.
BTW mu 2013 with a 5.0, and 3.73 rears has a tow cap of 9,300lbs. So really 5000 is not even in the ball park unless it has no towing package, which it does with the 7 pin..
Thanks for the response everyone. I've been doing some more digging and it looks like i have the 3.55 Axle Ratio, which would give the actual vehicle a tow capacity of 9,100#, GCVW of 14,500. I assume I wouldn't be able to go that high when adding in passenger weight and cargo, but think I should be okay to tow a trailer with a maximum loaded weight of 7,600# right?
You really should. As mentioned your GVWR of the truck is your limiting factor. But as long as you don't carry a full load of firewood, or a bike shop in the bead. you should be fine.
