It will make a lot of difference if its a light duty 3/4 ton [6 bolt wheels] or a heavy duty 3/4 ton [8 bolt wheels]an 8 bolt will usually have heavier springs, bigger brakes, and the bigger transmission if its a 6 bolt and has the 4L60e transmission they are not very good for towing. As far as following what it says on the door or in the book almost everybody around here that pulls a gooseneck stock trailer exceeds that.
