It's not a really straightforward question. The only actual measure of towing capacity is to check axle weights with the trailer attached. Any performance mods you may have made to the truck don't really count, except for making a heavy load feel more comfortable to pull down the road. That's actually a pretty important part of it, but only you can really judge it for yourself.

The true legal capacity is what the door sticker says.

What it'll actually do can't be discussed on a public forum.

Hint: Make sure you are running good tires if you don't have access to a scale!
