Not quite. Many car sales people don't know much at all about towing capacities, especially if it's a used truck that is not the dealership's brand.

The 3.5L EcoBoost had the max tow rating that year but the sales person convinced him that "big V8 engine will tow anything".
This is not the first story on this forum about sales staff not knowing squat about tow ratings and packages.
