Did you miss the part where I said "ignore the tow ratng"?? ;)
You can't load up your truck to the gills and still tow a #9800 TT AND still remain under ALL of your trucks other ratings... :)
That tow rating assumes a single driver and an XL model truck without the tailgate, spare tire and some other things you have on your truck... ;)
It's called "Marketing" and not real world..
My truck has the #11,300 rating and my #5000 loaded TT makes it only #400 away from it's rear GAWR and #600 from it's GVWR... That's the math I go by.. :)
Good luck!
