The standard Class C usually has a RV extension off the rear of the vehicle chassis. This is what is limiting you to 5000 lb towing in most cases. If you want factory rated towing higher than this, you have to look into the Super C's which have a stronger structure. There are companies that will beef up the underside of a Class C with a sub frame to give you heavier hauling ability, but your RV frame warranty will most likely be void if that sub frame fails and causes damage.
Only a few of the Class C's and Super C's are 4wd and the price to have high towing capacity plus 4wd gets high very fast. This was an option we considered before going to the truck camper until we saw the prices. A new truck and camper will still cost less than a new Super C, but you can find new Class C's almost the same price as just a new truck...
