I think someone is trying to justify their purchase.
My 2012 HD F150 handled up to 9,500 lbs very easily for the 3+ years I had it. Very comparable to a friends XD 5.6 aside from his gaser does not have as much low end torque as my Ecoboost did.
Every vehicle has their own limits and many times those limits are subject to opinion. While one person would happily tow with an HD F150, someone else may want an XD. While one person would be happy towing with an XD, someone else may want a heavier 250/2500 truck. What one person would be happy towing with a 250/2500, someone else may want a 350/3500 and so on. One persons safe towing, may be another persons recklessness just as one person's fast is another persons slow. Which one is correct is up to interpretation.
