Tow weight on oem '98 F150 hitch

I've got a '98 f150, 4.2l, auto, 3.55, and factory tow package. User manual lists max tow capacity @ 5,400lbs. For the life of me I can't find out what class the hitch is, or what max tongue weight & tow capacity is. The bumper has the usual 500lbs-5,000 Max embossed in the plastic for "bumper towing". There are no visible labels on the actual hitch.
Thanks for the help.

My 97 with the factory tow package and hitch and before the sticker fell off, it said 500/5000 and with WD 1000/10000.
