If you look at your owners manuel page 196, the answer is under Trailer frontal area considerations.
I interpet it to mean you can tow a utility trailer such as a flat top open type that does not present a lot for frontal air resistance. Then not on a regular basis.
Also see page 197 under step bumper use.
I would never tow an enclosed trailer of any large size and weight using the..bumper..and where you need safety chains and electric brakes, 7 pin connector etc that a step bumper normally dosn't have provisions for.
I admitt the book does not make all this very clear but you can now see why you would chose one over the other for safety.
