I think the owner's towing capacity quotes are a little optimistic (GCWR for the newer 700hp HET is only 238k), but still.

Great mysteries of our times: why do Americans express large weights in terms of tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds rather than tons? It's like saying Berlin to Bangkok is so many millions of feet.

Because "a quarter-million pounds" sounds heavier than "125 tons" to the type of person who answers "bricks" when you ask, "What weighs more: a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?"
