Because when I ordered my truck I specified that I wanted it to be able to tow 11k and so I researched it before buying because that would have been a deal breaker.
Only with the max tow package can you get the > 11K lbs towing capacity. It sounds like you have the regular tow package with a little bit under 10K lbs tow rating (best case). What rear end do you have or what's your VIN? What's your GVWR (sticker in the door)?
