Poor quality or by design? Would this not trap dirt and water?

Picked up this truck, it’s beautiful, got a great deal. HOWEVER-after the fact I realized it was not built with max tow. I’m coming from a diesel superduty, and while I don’t expect this truck to do what the super duty could, I will occasionally ask it to tow 9-10,000lbs.

I’m wondering if I will have issues towing this weight WITHOUT the max tow package/axle/hitch. Stated tow capacity is 10,800. And hitch capacity is 11,000ish. Will I be pushing the limit or am I worrying for no reason?
