Default Towing

Sorry if this has been asked before but my computer is on the fritz and wont let me do a search but i have a 2000 with and 4.7 As far as i know everything is stock. What is the towing capacity for this truck. A buddy of mine was told about 2000 lbs max but that seems light to me. Any input is welcome thanks

if he has the tow package i think its somewhere in the area of 5k lbs, but that is dependent on what gear ratio he has in the rear it could be as high as 6k-6250

i'm looking to pull a camper with it. With it loaded it will tip in around 4000 lbs is that too much even with a high gear rear?
