It really depends on what you want, old or new. My 2011 F150 ecoboost 3.5 twin turbo will easily tow way more than 6k. An older 1.5 ton would easily do it too, as long as the brakes, steering, and suspension have been gone through.
The issue isn’t capacity, it’s age. If your 1940s-1950s truck has been sitting in the weeds for decades, then it’s likely to have brake and other issues that come with long times sitting. It’s not that the old trucks don’t have the capacity, it’s that they’re much more likely to have been neglected.
Mechanically go through your old truck and it will tow 6k easily.
