6500lb tow rating, throw on some air lift in the rear and you're good to go.
Some new half ton trucks have a tow rating under 5k lbs.... so I wouldn't trust that blanket recommendation.

Yeah and some are rated for over 10k so I wouldn’t recommend that OP entirely discount my “blanket recommendation” either.. I’ve done a lot of towing near or at max towing capacity and it was really, really not fun.

We are going to look at several GX470s today. I hate to sell my clean third gen but I think the 4.7 would tow it and stop it so much better.

That’s probably the right call. You could probably do it in your 3rd gen but it would be a little butt puckering. 400lbs is not a lot of margin.
