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've always wondered if my 2013 EcoBoost with Max tow and HD payload can actually tow a RV trailer. Although it's "rated" for 11,300#, the owners manual limits frontal area of the trailer to 60 SF. I don't know of any hard side that is 60 SF!
That is 60 SF at 11,300 lbs.
Increase of the 60 SF will result in decrease to 11,300 lb maximum
My 30 foot travel trailer is about 7 feet wide and 7 feet tall, that is only 49 SF of frontal area.
