As mentioned above, ignore anyone who has said they've towed over my capacity without a problem.
That 10500 lb tow capacity is about as much of useful information as the dry weight of any RV.
With that tow capacity the percentage of tongue weight is in the neighborhood of 1200-1500 lbs on a truck with 1500 lb payload, it's overloaded before you start.
