Yep, depends on what you're towing. The tounge weight and max trailer
weight is stamped right into my bumper. You might want to check there, or
if its not there, it'll be in your owner's manual for sure.
For my '96, the max trailer weight is 2,000lbs. I don't remember the
tongue weight though; I think its 300-500lbs. I usually tow with
my class IV frame mounted hitch.
