10600 towing capacity, which would make tongue weight 1060 more or less..
Hardly :R ... you'll want at least 13 - 14% of the trailer's gross weight loaded and ready to camp to be represented as gross tongue weight. For example, a trailer weighing just 7000 lbs ready to camp should be running at least 900 lbs of gross tongue weight, even more @ 14%. To that you have to also account for the weight of any passengers and cargo in the truck while you're towing. Believe it, payload capacity of any 1/2 ton truck will be it's limiting factor and you won't be towing any trailer weighing anywhere near 10K lbs with your 1/2 ton truck ... a mistake many newbies make. ;)
