So after looking into it more, it seems the SAE J-2807A towing tests are done with 60 sqft frontal aera box trailers. So they can't say with authority the trucks can tow the SAE J-2807A rated weight, up hills, in high temps, ect. unless your trailer also has less drag then a 60 sqft box trailer. I wouldn't really call that a limit but a consideration. Still doesn't mean Ford won't be jerks when it comes to warranty. How do they explain all the pictures in their ads and on the webpages of Ford trucks towing obviously over 60 sqft frontal trailers?
