Hi Leo. According to the 2017 Ford Brochure, all ratings are in compliance with SAE J2807:

Ford F350 6.7 diesel, SRW, 4x4, LB, and 3.55's:

GCWR-28,700 pounds and 5th Wheel/Goose Neck tow rating is 20,600 pounds, 5000 pounds more than my '12.

As previously stated, comparing to the '12, the brakes are the same size, shocks and springs are the same, differentials are the same, and except for torque and hp, engine and trannie are the same. I know they dropped some steel and used aluminum, but they can't drop that much steel to increase the ratings that much between the 2 vehicles. Do a google for '2017 Ford SuperDuty' brochure and you can verify the numbers.
