What is the weak link for Chevy max tow ratings?

The max tow ratings for a F350 Ford are about 32,000. For a Ram 3500 they are about 31,000. For a Silverado 3500,they are about 23,000. That is 4.5 tons less than a Ford and 4 tons less than a R...

It might just be that GM only offers 3.73 gears where as you can get a 4.10 option from Ram and even a 4.30 option (I believe) from ford. Seems ford even used to offer 4.88's.

Also, maybe since they knew they were going to be coming out with the class 4 and up trucks real soon, they want to sell those for heavy work and not have them competing with the 3500 line.
