The info on the bumper is for a bumper pull, if you are using a receiver hitch you will have higher capacity like what captfx4 posted up

I have an 04' Fx4 and I'm wanting to pull a car trailer with a 3/4 ton 72' chevy about 280 miles. My door sticker shows a ridiculous 3800lbs or something like that. That worries me a little but the other numbers I see guys throwing around are quite a bit higher. My truck has a receiver hitch and is 4x4 obviously. Anybody know why the door sticker is low?

My only guess is that 3800 lbs is how much each of the stock e rated tires hold at max psi.

I'm pulling an old steel dual axle car trailer and I have no idea how much it weighs. The truck should be in the 14-15k range total right?

Just made it back. Truck pulled great. Actually got close to 12mpg at about 60mph and a little help from the wind. I'll post a pic of the rig in a bit...
