The 11,000lb GVW and 15,000lb GCWR are real specs. Bigger news is a heavier duty cycle 3.5 EcoBoost is available with 310hp and 400ft-lbs of torque. That's just about V10 numbers, and also AWD is an available option across the line up, including the 178" WB DRW chassis.
That is going to make for a nice platform to carry a small Class C.
That's a game changer for sure, previously you could choose a wheezy gas V6 with very little low end torque or a diesel with decent low end torque but low horsepower. Now you can have both, and it should perform great.
