where can i find it?

i have a 1995 ford f150 with a regular cab and a 4.9l 6 cyl. its automatic and RWD.
im planning on renting a Uhaul auto transport to tow my 63 VW Bug but they wont let me use it without knowing the exact weight that it can tow.
i have never towed anything but the ball that was on it when i bout it says 6000lb but the rear bumper where its mounted doesnt say how much i can tow.

my questions are:
where on the truck can i find out how much i can tow with the ball that i have hooked up to the rear bumper?

does anyone have the same truck and know how much i can tow?

I am not sure where you can find it, but I am sure that you can't tow that much with a ball attached to your bumber. You need a mount attached to the frame to tow that much. Do you still have your owner's manual?

Your bumper should be stamped that its rated for 500 tongue weight and 5000lbs trailer weight. But I wouldn't tow a thing with a bumper. Get a frame mounted hitch installed and it will have a weight listed on it that it is rated for..
