Check with your dealer for towing capacity -- it could also be in your owners manual. My GMC half ton theoretially can pull 8700 lbs. The usual half ton registration in KS is 12000 lbs combined (trailer and vehicle). 5300 lbs truck weight + 8700 = 14000 lbs. That weight meets the manufacturers specs, but then the registration is wrong. It can be registered for 16000 lbs CGVW. Since the truck weighs 5300 lbs, technically I am legal pulling 10700 lbs -- no way I'm going to do that with only a half ton. Point is you need to know the towing capacity of your truck, plus the CGVW, and register it to whatever weight your state will let you and still be within the CGVW.
