I never saw the Ford site specify WHAT could be towed, it only said 3500 pounds. I didnt think it mattered what it was, as long as it didnt exceed 3500. This is where I read that: http://www.fleet.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/towingguides/08RVTTgdeSep08.pdf

You need to read page 15, at the bottom, where it says "Frontal Area Considerations."
