This is their main problem. They could have made what amounted to a 3/4 ton truck from the 90's (a decent niche considering how large trucks have become), but they put a semi-floating rear axle from their vans in the truck because that's "heavy duty" for them. The rear axle weight rating isn't even high enough to pull a gooseneck trailer with any load on it.
It's a half ton truck with the driveability, fuel economy, and maintenance of a 3/4 ton. If I were Cummins I'd be pissed, and would be telling them to make an HD XD with a real free floating axle to get the towing numbers up to promote their new engine application.

I think they messed up by giving the diesel option. I totally agree with you that it doesn't compare to 3/4 ton diesels, but I disagree about a Titan XD with the gas engine. They weight 65-6700 lbs, which is comparable to the older generation 3/4 ton trucks.
The tow ratings may be similar to a aluminum F-150 with an Ecoboost, but please get that truck and a Titan XD and pull the same 11,500 lb trailer and let me know which one can actually control the trailer. My F-150 was only rated for 8500 lbs, and when i was even close to that rate it was a terrible towing experience.
