According to Draw-tite's website the rating goes up to 6000/750 lbs with a weight distribution system. Does that apply to flat-towing too?

Ford E-Series are rated to tow up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped, so a Class IV hitch like the one on my van would solve the problem. However, as I recall looking under an Axis, Thor adds a short frame extension at the tail end of the frame, so the "weak link" could limit towing down to something much lower.
In my opinion replacing the receiver "may" not be enough to get the 8,000 pound rating if other design changes were also made at same time.
