Recently I had to rescue my daughters Jeep Wrangler which overheated. My car hauling trailer weights approx 1100-1200 lbs and the Jeep approx 3400 lbs.
Even though I was over the limit by 600+/- lbs I hooked up my trailer and drove an hour and half to load and tow the Jeep home (75 miles) and there were no issues. Absolutely felt comfortable with the additional weight.
I am not recommending someone tow more than the recommended 4k but in a pinch I dont think exceeding the tow limit by a few hundred pounds matters. I would think Ford has a safety margin in their towing numbers but have no clue if or what it is.
