Born Free towing a TT
A friend of mine just bought a used Born Free 24 footer. It's an E450 chassis. And I think it's a 2003 model. I can't find any specs for what it can tow ... can it tow my 25 foot travel trailer, ...

Hmmm, the spec sheet does call it GVWR - check the last page here...

That is correct. That is the Gross VEHICLE weight rating. There is another number that assists you with the towing capacity called Gross COMBINED weight rating.
Two separate ratings that representing two different capacities. GVWR is the maximum weight your vehicle is rated to carry without a trailer connected, the GCWR is the maximum weight of your vehicle loaded AND the trailer weight. And, like someone else pointed out earlier in your thread, the frame extensions can derate these numbers.
