They asked if a 1/2 ton was capable of towing a fifth wheel. I responded mine with the Tow Max package was rated at 14,500 towing. Then you refer me to the plate on the door with GVWR capacities.
If you are looking at this, you first need to see if it will pull the weight, then see if the tongue weight is within ratings.
I use my F350 dually if I am not sure.
Just trying to help the person that posted this question. I don’t want them looking inside the driver door panel to answer it.

It's not the towing -- a VW can tow. It's the stopping. 1/2 ton brakes are too small.

You're getting lots of opinions and good advice in this thread. All I will add is that if I every replace my truck (Silverado 2500HD with Duramax Diesel), I will replace it with at 3500HD. I tow a 320MKS with it and it does pretty well but I know I'm near the capacity. The deceiving part is the engine. That Duramax/Allsion transmission will tow a house. The part to watch is the suspension, brakes, etc. Like others have said here, don't believe the dealer. Most of them will tell you that you can tow a houseboat with a VW bus. They want to sell you the trailer and the bigger the better.
Side note: I also regret not upgrading to the SLT package with power retracting/extending side mirrors. Next time.-------------------------------

For those who desire a 5er but own a 1/2 ton.
