max towing rating per the guide-curb weight=your trucks real towing capacity.
You're injecting common sense into the equation, and we know that a good majority of buyers have no clue about this and wind up buying not enough truck or too much trailer because Ford said it can. The most damning part in this is the Owners Manual. No where does it state the model specs to achieve the listed ratings, so again, if you didn't know, you could hook up to too much trailer and get into problems.
