That's the way to start a dialogue! HAHAHAHAHA
So what he's really trying to say is ---- just because the rating on the truck (any vehicle) is "X" ---- doesn't mean it will do "X" well.... it only means that it CAN if it has to.
A volkswagon will pull an airplane --- on a flat runway --- and very very slowly and might be completely worn out in the end... but it "could" do it (hypothetically).
What's more important is the weight of the towing vehicle vs the towed item --- and the braking capacity --- and on and on... it's not always just about the power of the engine.
For instance --- my brother in law has a F350 single rear wheel diesel -- I had an F350 dually. Mine out cornered his by a mile.... because it cornered flat and the trailer didn't push the rear end around... therefore if you drove both with the same trailer - mine would have been a clear winner. It just drove nicer under towing conditions.
