Just looking at 2017 Fords fleet service specs and it looks like Ford may have messed up the RAWR rating.
Fords 20" OEM wheels are rated at 3590 lbs capacity times 2 = 7180 lbs capacity. No way Ford is going to use a overloaded wheel on their trucks.
I would bet Ford F350 SRW is still the same 7000 RAWR.
The max F350 SRW is actually rated to 7280 and max GVWR is 11,500. My truck has LT275/70R18E rated to 3640 each? Is that how Ford came up with 7280?
The question of what it can tow can only be answered after one knows what the rear axle weighs ready to tow, and subtracts that from RGAWR. Which looks like is in error at 7280.
In my case my rear axle is 3760 ready to tow. So 7000-3760=3240 for pin weight. I choose a trailer that had a lighter 2450 dry pin weight, I am not going to install a generator or washer/dry. Chris
