And that so-called "tow rating" is very misleading. It assumes your wet and loaded truck with everything you normally have in the truck, including driver, passenger(s), toolbox full of tools, cooler full of cool, both tanks full of fuel, hitch installed, whatever, will weigh only 7,500 pounds. And I'll bet your tow vehicle weighs a lot more than 7,500.
So to determine your real tow rating, load up the truck they way it will be loaded on the road, go to a truckstop with a CAT scale, fill up with diesel, then weigh the wet and loaded truck. Subtract that weight from 20,000 pounds that that is your real tow rating. If your tow vehicle is a CrewCab 4x4 PSD, your real tow rating will probably be way south of 12,000 pounds.
