The old rver's here remember what we did before these so-called tow packages...Transmission cooler/larger radiator/class IV hitch or better/overloads or upgraded springs and tow mirrors...Now all this is called a Max Tow package....
Just upgraded springs alone raises the GVWR by 500 lbs,according to Fords Max Tow versus regular tow package.
I think this little quote has more to do with towing and weight than 3/4 ton versus modern 1/2 ton.
