Can anyone succinctly explain trailering numbers found in a Ford Vin lookup?

[newbury]

For instance on a 2023 F150, 5.0L V8 Engine a VIN lookup shows:
Wt Distributing Hitch - Max Trailer Wt. 10500, 9500, 8100 lbs 7600.0 min 13800.0 max

I'm ASSUMing that means it has a 13,800 max tow capacity but y'all know what they say about ASSUMe.
But what are all the other numbers?
Trying to work with a dealer they want a ton of details before they'll talk to me.

Maybe those numbers are on here, starting about halfway down.

Why doesn't the dealer know what it means?

Thanks for the link.
The last three dealers I tried to deal with always had to "consult" someone with more knowledge and didn't get back to me.
I've found that I usually have to go in to the dealership, which I don't want to do until I've found something they have on the lot.
/edit
And I've read that with the new beer can bodies they are "tuned" to a maximum tow weight far closer than those of the past.

This might help. I didn't see one for 2023 but probably little change.

You have the actual VIN for the truck or you are just trying to figure out what one could tow?

Looks like anywhere from 8300 to 13000 on the Ford tow chart

I am frustrated with towing specs also.
They show combos they will not let you order - maybe that's it.
I want a 5.0 3.73 - not allowed, but rated.

I wonder if those may be for export only as they might lower average fuel economy in the US.

You might have gotten a lot more responses if you didn't add the qualifier "succinctly".
