True, and many (like Nissan for example) make it difficult if not impossible to get the GCWR. They don't publish one on the website, although it might be on the FMVSS placard.

When properly equipped, a 2015 F150 can tow up to 9100 lbs. Our 2WD / 5.5 Bed / 2.7L Ecoboost / Tow Package can do 8100. 12000 is way over the max.

But, take your typical 5th wheel that weighs...

Mary, assuming it's the 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost, you can expect close to the same mileage towing a 21 - maybe 1 or at most 2 mpg less. Just a guestimate, but I would say the 3.5L 2WD should get in the 15...
