If more competition raises their rating to 6,000 like Pathfinder did recently then perhaps marketing will direct 6,200 be printed.
I'm not so sure, with the Explorer. With the Everest coming out next year, that'll be the more-capable, Explorer sized vehicle. Predominantly marketed as an off-road SUV like the 4Runner, but with 6500 pounds towing capacity.

Where did you see that the Everest will be offered here next year? I couldn't find anything. It's not listed on the "Future Vehicles" link from Ford.
