This is so much myth about towing capibilities....
That 9500 lbs is with a 150 lb driver and 1/2 a tank of fuel...As you load stuff in the truck(passengers, dirt bikes, generators, dogs, wood, etc, etc ) your towing rate goes down.
The big one is tongue weight....most Titans have around 1500 lbs of load rating, subtract everything you put in the truck( see above examples) and what you have left is how much tongue weight you can handle.
1500 lbs load
average driver - add 50 lbs
Add full fuel 100 lbs
3 dirt bikes 700 lbs
Genny 150 lbs
Passenger 150 lbs
Wood 100 lbs
WD hitch 100 lbs
Total 1350 lbs
That leaves you about 150 lbs for tongue weight...
Lets go the other direction...
7000 lb trailer with only 700 lbs of tongue weight(light by the way)
Now you only have 850 lbs of load rating left over...
Are you getting the idea....
