So maybe Ford did just bump the max tow rear GAWR even closer to its 4,500lbs "breaking point"? I suspect only Ford will be able to clarify more...

Still hoping Mike @ PUTC will find the answers.
FINALLY got my answer from Mike @ PUTC

The 2010 F150 SCrew has higher payload/GVW etc because: (drum roll please)

"It's based on the brakes and better confidence in the truck now that it's been out for a year."

There you have it folks.
