I had three different late model Fords with the 5.4 V-8 and thought they were all maxed out towing 6,000 pounds. Even the F-250 with the 4.10 rear axle. I suppose one could get by if they don't intend to tow often or far. I used mine mostly in Illinois, which is not exactly in the middle of the Rocky Mountain Range. The 6,000 pounds was actual weight, not brochure weight.
Being in SE WI it mainly flat here. Trailering would be a couple times a month mainly to areas in WI. I would like to go to Yellowstone but not sure I would trust a 7500 lb trailer being towed behind me kicking and screaming the whole way so that trip would wait.
