I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and while it has 7,000 lb towing capacity, I would never want to be towing something that heavy. You get into a tail wagging the dog issue when in an emergency situation, and because the trailer weighs more than the tow vehicle, the trailer can take over under certain circumstances.
Just because the vehicle is rated for a certain amount, does not mean that it is prudent to do so.
Need to have the right weapon for your battles. If you want to tow 10,000 lbs you should consider a diesel truck with specifically designed configurations.
Towing 5 tons is a significant undertaking.
