Interested in this lil I6. I think the 282HP 450TQ 28hwy 10 speed look good.

New Jeep Rubicon diesel is specked 260HP 242TQ
My lil conservative tow tune ED 268HP 485TQ

28 Hwy looks good considering the tall big box front end.

7,800 tow rating looks low my 4 door ED is 8,800 but really I don't care what Ford etc rates them if you are buying it to tow 9k+ load you should be looking into the HD platform. Certainly it has the power and gearing to tow more.

I'm not sure I trust the 7800 rating in this doc.

That platform with the same rear and transmission is rated to much more, and to be competitive with the other half ton diesels they would need a higher rating.

So unless there is some issue with the engine holding it back, I'm not sure a 7800lb max rating makes sense.

We'll just have to wait for the official specs but I am looking forward to seeing what they are.
