The sales people don't help. They like to say "towing capacity", but fail to say that is the rating for the receiver 12 or 13K, but that does not mean you can pull that much. They "forget" to mention your Combined weight rating and anything about also carrying weight in the box while pulling. (so they make amazing claims for how big a 5er it can do)
Numbers are much better with the newer trucks, but ours is 16,000 lbs combined for pulling. The receiver can do 12K. So the salesidiot says it can tow 12,000 lbs, but that would mean the truck only weighs 4,000 lbs. What a farce. :(
