Most likely that 6,600 weight figure is for a base truck (no weight adding options) with the lightest engine and tranny available, with 150 lb driver. You need to weigh your truck to see what the figures are.
Your limiting factor will be GAWR and GVWR most likely. With a tag trailer you can pull more because the tongue weight should be less than the pin weight of a gooseneck or fiver of the same weight. The figures from the towing guide are based on numbers pulled from vehicles that give the highest rating, not real world weights.
