The tow ratings or GCWR are bigger because of the different engine and tranny.
The MY 2013's have more HP and TQ with the added DEF. Also it could very well have a Aisin tranny.
The GVWR only increased by 100 lbs which explains your frame question. One year Ford increased the brake rotor size by about a quarter inch and upped there GVWR by 1000 lbs :B
Just me but 16.5K lbs of trailer your going to need a DRW truck or some bigger rubber.
