I'm not sure of what the 2010 max tow weight specs are, but my '06 with the tow package is 9,500 lb. BUT, that is not really the number you need to consider when choosing a trailer. The areas of concern are 1) Vehicle Gross Weight Rating (VGWR), 2) Vehicle axle weight ratings, aqnd 3) Combined Gross Weight Rating (CGWR).
First, figure out what just your truck itself will weight when you are towing, and this includes all people, gas, and gear in the bed of the truck, this is your actual vehicle weight (AVW). Subtract that number from your trucks VGWR, and that result is what you have left for tounge weight of the loaded trailer. Next, take you CGWR and subtract the AVW, this is the max loaded trailer weight you have left.
The final check is to ensure that you do not exceed the truck axel weight ratings when eveything is hooked up and ready to go, and that normally only is a concern on the rear axle.
Hope tis helps ypu, and happy camping to come.
