The weight or towing capacity is based on the:
springs; they must be stiff enough to support the weight.
tires; tire size must be large (wide) enough to safely carry the weight
brakes; they must be large enough to safely stop with the load
The engine and transmission do not affect the rating but trucks with a higher weight capacity usually come standard with a bigger engine, larger cooling system, and sometimes a heavier transmission.

People often want cars moved in or out of the Alaska. Instead of driving the car you could put it on the trailer. Try Craig's List or another bulletin board and put a notice out that you are going to Alaska. You might have trouble with US and Canadian customs if you bring lots of little things or fresh produce.

The ratings / #'s are for the amount of weight that the truck bed will safely carry
