Sounds like a very nice truck. And I would venture to say that the vast majority of truck buyers don't care if it is rated to tow 23k or 30k.
True but if they could they sure as HE!! would be advertising big numbers.
Maybe. Maybe not. Lots of speculation that they have been sandbagging their HP and Torque numbers for the last several years as despite of not having the top specs they still have won every towing/acceleration test I have seen.
They may not be sandbagging anymore. The Ford was just slightly faster 0-60 with a little less hp but slightly more tq.
What I can see them doing as a strategy is being the fastest/best when tested towing 23k or whatever their limit is.
