max towing capacity

With a 17 year old truck, it's not like any 'published' "tow rating" is necessarily going to apply today anyway??
"today's" tow rating is really going to be whatever you think it's going to be able to handle in the trucks current state of mechanical ability/condition..
Basically, just don't overload the tires or the rear GAWR and the rest is just whatever you feel comfortable with...
If it tows whatever you hitch up to it fine and to your performance and handling expectations, there you go!
