Take a look at the Ford F53 chassis spec sheet.

You'll find the 24,000 lb. chassis has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. While the 26,000 lb. chassis only has a towing capacity of 4,000 lbs. Essentially they both have the same GCWR (gross combined weight rating). The smaller chassis carries 2,000 lbs. less on the frame, but can tow 2,000 lbs. more than the 26,000 lb. chassis.
Thanks for the link , it is misleading when you read on the manufacturers websites that you have a 5000 lbs hitch but I don't recall reading that you actually have a 4000 lbs rating for the chassis on the 26 K.
