Tow capacity

I know it would be a dog hauling a half ton in the bed it was a lot slower taking off like really slow compared to empty bed, but I just wanted to know what it could do just for reference and is a 1300 payload sound right cause I wouldn’t want to break the suspension or stuff overloading it the suspension and tires are worth more then the truck cost me

Best way to figger out how much weight you can carry? Go to a scale. Full tank of gas, one person in the truck, get the weight, subtract that from your GVWR, the remainder is how much additional weight you can legally carry.
That said..... I moved 5000 lbs of dirt in the bed of my 3/4 ton. WAY overloaded. The front was extremely light, and 35 was as fast as I was willing to go. (I didn't overload on purpose, I seriously underestimated the weight of dirt.....) Fortunately, I didn't have to go far.....

His tow rating is 5,720 assuming each tire weighs 80 pounds more, he actually said they are 120 pounds heavier, you subtract that from the rating and you get that. He didn't list his GCVWR

That's just the factory rating, which is meaningless to the DOT. Your legal rating is the sum of your axle ratings on both the truck and the trailer you are towing, you can't exceed any of those axle ratings and if your total weight is over 26K you need a CDL, unless you can prove its for personal use only, and even that is grey area in some States.

LOL never heard of that, how would they even know what those ratings are? They aren't going to take the time to google it.
