What do you mean exactly? Trailers have tongue weights, not trucks. Are you wondering what the capacity is for your receiver hitch? Tongue weight is the amount of force pushing down (typically the weight on the ball of a receiver hitch). Pin weight is the amount of weight on the 5th wheel receiver hitch, etc.

Weight distribution hitches distribute tongue weight differently than standard type hitches as well.

Towing capacity is something different entirely and is the difference of the total combined weight rating less the weight of the tow vehicle as currently configured.

If you have a class 4 hitch, your max tongue weight will be 1000lbs,
class 5 is 1200lbs. (without weight distributing)
Most come with a class 4 hitch
