You should have a GVW on the data tag. Its on the drivers door right under the latch.

You can't tell tow capacity just by the truck, it depends on the trailer too. F100s will not tow much they are pretty light duty. I wouldn't pull more than 3K lbs with out good trailer brakes. There will most likely be a difference between what you leagally can tow and how much you should tow. I pulled a 3500lb boat with an F100, never on the highway just to the lake and back (about 5 miles) and it was more than I would take out on the highway for sure in all honesty my moms 99 explorer was more capable towing that boat than my F100 was. My truck was a 68 but the 79 I owned seemed worse.
