It was something along the lines of single cab, 3.5EB, rear wheel drive XL...maybe with the 8' bed.

As for actual highest towing cap, that has to be a SCrew 6.5’ bed. You just have more vehicle to pull with.

Didn't seem reasonable to me, but I did not question the post. My usual saleman at my Ford dealership was unaware of such, but usually I have to tell him about vehicle capabilities.
Is there such an option?
