Not that the truck couldn't pull the weight but, i would definitely try it. Too much weight for a mid size half ton. I'd be more worried about stopping.

This should have been:
"but, I would definitely not try it."
"probably like 5000 lbs?"
Could be but type of trans and gear ratios make a difference in the tow rating. Get that info and there are websites that can give you a GVWR for towing.
