You're getting some great advice here. As you pointed out, salesman are not necessarily the most informed.
Take the fact you learned that, and apply it to your choice of tow vehicle as well. Don't rely on the salesman to quote you the gross towing numbers. You need to focus on cargo capacity for your tow vehicle.
Figure 13 percent of the trailers GVWR will be tongue weight. That, plus the weight of your family, weight of everything you add into the truck should not exceed the cargo capacity specified on the yellow sticker on your drivers door or door jamb.
What happened to the E350?

I think you are confusing me with someone else. I have a F150 that's almost paid off. I've never considered trading it.

You're right.. There was another thread someone asking about a trailer for 10 people and he had a E350.
Still, pay attention to payload, not what the book says your tow capacity is. You will exceed payload capacity well before you get to the magical mystical tow capacity.
