I have a 2001 Ford extra cab, v6, 5 speed manual and 3.55 rear axle. The owners manual shows that combination having a 3300lb max towing capacity. When I bought the truck used in 2002 I didn't even think to check the tow cap. The 2 compact trucks I owned before this had almost the same tow cap and figured a full size Ford had to be better. So much for expecting.

We went to look at the TM today. I have to say they people who traded it got there money's worth out of it, it was well worn. The floor from the door opening to the fridge was spongy which caused worry about other wood. the rest of the camper was in poor shape, dirty and several broken items. We decided to pass on it for now. The most I'd want to give for it is $1000.00, less would be better. They have only had it on there lot a couple of weeks. If it's still there in a couple more I may shoot them a low offer and see what happens.
