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. I pull a 7x20 that weighs 4500 empty with 10 1200 pound cows in it with my 89 3/4 8 bolt chevy, it has the 5.7 with a turbo 400 non overdrive auto and low gears. If you have high gears use the 4 low in the transfer case whenever you go out in a hayfield or anywhere the ground is soft or when you're maneuvering at slow speed if you're not turning too short, and as someone else don't tow in overdrive.
