I'm guessing about 6800 lbs. My 96 with the 5.8 E4OD 4X4 was rated at 7200 lbs. You might want to check and be sure it has an oil cooler at the base of the oil filter and a transmission cooler if you do much towing. Maybe someone with an owners manual can give you an exact figure on the towing capacity but hope this helps. If it is a manual transmission your towing capacity would be less.

Seems like the 1992-1996 5.0 / AOD / 3.55 was 7000 - 7200 lb. I think the 3.08 was around 6500 - 6800 lb.
If you have a 5 speed you are only going to be in the 3500-4000 lb range.
