I have a 2000, so numbers might be slightly different.
Assuming HD group and tow package, according to ChryCo, a 2K 4X4 w/3.55 is rated for 4450. w/3.92 it's 5750
The 5.2 was only available in 4X2 in 2k, but its ratings are 4700 w/3.55 and 6000 w/3.92
OTOH, the 5.9 4X4 is rated  for 5650 w/3.55 and 7350 w/3.92.

Those ratings are total extra weight you add, including passengers and gear.

What are you planning on towing? Rule of thumb is that the actual weight of the trailer (loaded with gear) will be about 10% higher.

Pete Cartier had a nice summary of tow ratings in the 1st Quarter 2000 E-zine. If you are a member, go to the e-zine archives and take a look.
