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?

Typical travel trailer is 8' wide by 8' tall = 64sf. If you consider how high it sits and not just the area of the front cap, then 8' x 10' = 80sf. It would seem that the 60 sf is a limit, ie do not tow anything bigger than 60sf frontal area. It doesn't tell us what the relation between weight and frontal area is, ie, if 80sf is 33% over the 60sf limit, does that mean you de-rate the 11300 by 33% to 7533?
Makes me wonder if there is a legitimate reason for them not wanting you to tow a TT with a 150, or if they are just trying to protect sales of 250's....
