Would you mind emailing your dealer and asking if he knows anything about the FX4 having a 3,200lb towing capacity. Would like to see if another dealership can verify those numbers.
I plan on talking to him tomorrow so I’ll see if he knows anything!

Note: an AWD equipped 2.0 Ecoboost is only rated 2K Towing which will have 3.63 drive ratio.
Note: An AWD-equipped 2.0 EcoBoost also does not have the transmission oil cooler, higher-capacity radiator, and upgraded cooling fan either. So to say that the .18 gearing difference is "main" is a bit of a stretch.

Does it help? Absolutely. Does Ford deem it necessary? Absolutely. Why else would they change the gear ratio on a $20k truck. Does Ford deem the other parts necessary? Absolutely for the same reason they change the gear ratio. Can you tow 4k without it? Absolutely. Should you tow 4k without it? Depends on if it's a lease or not.

That's why they call it a package, the components all work together.

I like your comment about the lease. I guess that's why they call it a package; all those components working together.
