Clarification on tow capacity
If a vehicle says it's tow capacity is 9,000 lbs what does that 9,000 pounds include? Obviously the TT plus whatever we have in it and the water in it... But what else?

I actually hate "tow ratings". Towing a 9000lb travel trailer and a 9000lb boat and a 9000lb load of lumber are different things. It is a good guide to go by, but there are many other factors, too. The biggest is payload capacity of the vehicle. You can easily be over payload and not be close to the so called "tow rating".
