Fords altitude towing recomendations
Interesting article about what Ford recommends for towing at altitudes and how they reduce the trucks towing and payload. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2015/09/should-your-pickup-tow-less-at-altitude....

In addition to power loss by non forced aspirated engines, I think Ford is also alluding to the fact that the severe terrain (as opposed to relatively less challenging prairie towing) in high mountain driving, also affects the towing capacity because of the extra loading/resultant strain on suspension components.
This is just not a Ford thing, it would affect all trucks when towing, IMHO.
