Unique situation: What tow vehicle checks all the boxes?

Today I thought I might found my next tow vehicle, but it didn't check all the boxes. I'm looking for something that can tow 9000 lbs or better. Sounds like a pickup, right? But my wife has a business...

You don’t understand the ratings. You don’t add people, cargo, etc. to GVWR of the trailer to get the needed “tow rating” for a tow vehicle. You should start by understanding what All the ratings mean, to figure out what you need, to figure out what meets your needs. Clicky for understanding towing ratings


Sounds like understands to me. If you want to tow 7500 lbs at the same time you haul 1500 lbs you need the GCVWR to cover all, assuming you want to keep interweb weight police away.
