For comparison, I have a trailer with a gross loaded weight rating of 8,200 lbs (and I've hit that per scales). My truck has a max trailering package and 10,800 pound trailer limit. I'm at my max payload (2015) with my trailer. I would not tow anything heavier with a 1/2 ton, and mine is set up well from the factory.

If you are a GM guy, the new 2020 3/4 ton's look really interesting.
