Oregon duck is right on. half ton towable are a real push for the capabilities of a half ton truck. the numbers might look like it will work, BUT not in the real world of towing. You will be maxed out on flat ground, let alone a mountain climb. one ratio I have used is 1 to 1.3 10,000 lb trailer (full load-not dry weight), truck should be capable of towing 13,000 lbs. more is always better.
