Forget the bank account !
Please define "marginal". The E450 can tow a 5000 lb Jeep with a significant margin in GCWR. GVWR is not a factor when flat towing since there is virtually no tongue weight.
For years Ford has had a 14,500# GVWR and a 22,000 GCWR for the E 450. That gives a tow rating of 7,500 #. They also have 22,000, 24,000 and 26,000 GVWRs and 26,000, 30,000 and 30,000# GCWRs for their F53 chassis. That gives tow ratings of 4,000, 6,000 and 4,000#, for what has been the most used chassis for gas class A motorhomes for many years. Many people still say a class A can tow more that a class C ?
