Those ratings are BS, the salesmen told me he knows a guy that pulls twice what those ratings say because he has airbags with a chip/tuner and is extra careful.
I actually looked up my truck to see if the 12K I thought it could pull conventionally was correct and it was.

The HITCH and the FACTORY HITCH might have different ratings. Most often, the hitch is less; and you will have to upgrade the hitch to match the truck's rating.
I don't know why the big three do this so often, but they do.
For example, the familiar Ford Factory "V5" Hitch is not what would qualify for a Class-V hitch.

While this is a good guide, it is nothing more than a guide. It suggest that a 2001 GMC 3500 CC dually can tow 7.500lbs non WD, while a Ford F-350 CC dually can tow 13.000lbs wheter it it is conventional, WD, or fifth wheel. While this could be true, it just doesn't seem to add up for me...
