Hi, Trailer Life at http://www.trailerlife.com/output.cfm?id=42175 lists trailer capacity back to 1999. You can buy older guides for $3.95 on that page. My guess is 7000#'s. Yes tranny cooler is very important. Helper springs help too but all this is for longer truck life and safer hauling. The trailer capacity is set by the manufacture and no aftermarket products can change that.
