Should be right in your owners manual man. And this post might have been best placed in the towing section.

As a general rule 10K+ is the "safety" limit for a half ton truck. We've pulled more, but in a panic stop situation a 3/4 or 1 ton truck handles much better.

I think adrian has it right. It's not how much you can tow, It's how much you can stop in a reasonable time. You can tow 36,000 lbs with your truck because I have with mine. But it sure didn't want to stop!
