Ford Changing Tow Specs On New Trucks?

Saw this yesterday. Kind of interesting if you are buying or just bought a new Ford.

I don't see anything on the Ford site about my 2018

Ford is opening themselves up to a class action lawsuit from both RVers and business owners.
Ram has lowered tow ratings on new trucks, but didn’t try the backdated method !
SD is shooting itself in the foot. All those RVers registered as voters count in the Census for apportionment for US Representatives, electoral votes, and MANY Federal programs for MONEY! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!

Census doesn't count people based on where they register to vote if they "travel" a lot. It's where they are on census day.

It's not a count of voters but a snapshot of where people ARE.

I noticed something similar with Ram trucks. Out of curiosity I checked out specs on a couple of 2022 1500’s w/ 5.7L. Payloads were good (1800’ish if memory serves), but tow specs were awful; 5,000lb w/o WDH and 6,450lb w/ WDH. My 2011 Durango is 7,200lb.
