Tow Capacity

My 2000 HD F-150 has a max tow weight of 4,000.......this is less than 1/2 of a standard F-150 ??........I suspect this is due to the 20" wheels !! is there something else restricting towing..................mike

I am no expert, but it might also have something to do with suspension. I don't see where suspension would make that big of a difference, but it might make a slight difference.
