The weights can actually vary by state, and what the vehicle is plated for. The general rule of thumb is 34,000 lbs. on a set of tandems, 20,000 lbs. on a single drive or trailer axle, and the steer axle... 12,000 is generally stated, but it's actually dependent on the weight rating of your tires and how much surface area contacts the road... it is possible for an 80k combination to run up to 20,000 lbs. legally on the steer axle, provided the axle and tires are rated for it - most are not, except on heavy haulers and vocational trucks.

What is the towing capacity of a 1975 GMC 454 V8 Sierra Classic?
10k with a weight distributing hitch. Probably around 18k with a fifth wheel or gooseneck hitch. Normally these weights were on the door panel plate or in the glovebox. There should be a combined weight max, but type of hitching really determines the max. These weights are with properly equipped axel brakes and hitches. I had a 94 k2500 3/4 ton 4wd that I towed a 15k loaded horse trailer with no problem. That had the 350 and automatic OD in it.
