"A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle or trailer when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight."

It is the paylod package that came with that setup. Do you have the tow package with the hitch, harness, etc?

Here is Ford's link with the breakdown.
