Definitly not an expert on this, but the first thing to do is check your owners manual, or manufacturers web site for the maximum towed load for the truck. The second thing to take into consideration is how is the pintle attached. Is it attached to a frame type hitch assembly, or is it bolted to a step bumper? Most step bumpers are not supposed to pull more than about 3,000 pounds. I nearly learned about that the hardway several years ago, when the generator I was pulling for the local phone nearly pulled the bolt holes out of my step bumper. The genrator only weighed 3,000 pounds, but the axle was to far back, and had a 700 pound tongue weight.
