Welcome to the site..

To figure out the towing/trucks load capacity, you have to figure in or factor for,, engine options, trans- manual or automatic, 4x4 or 4x2, optioned/available axle ratios if any, and chassis/cab lenght and designs.. It would help to know what the specs for the trailer considered are, (hitch and GVWR ect.) as well as what your going to carry in the tow hauler,, even gear/passengers in the truck to see if your truck in it's combined weight with trailer loaded, final hitch weight, as well as all axles load weights to be legal.. Your owners guide has a decent section for the trailer loading and capacities.. You can preveiw it here
