19,200 lbs. When is enough, enough?

Ford announced that they would be upping the 2005 F-350 with DRW towing capabilities with a new towing package called the TowBoss. Now, I don't own a heavy duty truck but I am still obsessed with these beasts. One of the reasons I got a Ranger was because it looked like a mini F-250. But on to the question. What do you guys think is enough for towing? How far do you think they are going to push "1 ton trucks" for max towing? We all know that these things could be classified as 2 1/2 ton trucks from the 5,000lb payload but what do you guys think is next?

I think it is getting a little beyond the point, I have big trucks, and I don't feel the need to put stress on my pickup to tow a load more suited for the big trucks.

Man that's a lot of weight. I'll bet there are a lot of caviets to that like the trailer brakes are doing most of the stopping.
