The exact answer will depend on the cab configuration, the bed length and whether the truck has the Rambox option.

For a crew cab long bed, the max towing capacity is 12,400 lbs, 12,550 for the short bed.

For a crew cab short bed with Ramboxes, the max capacity is 12,350.

For a mega cab short bed, the capacity is 12,150, 12,100 if equipped with Ramboxes.
