I don't suppose you have a reference for that. I know SF has a large restricted
area, but I've never seen anything that gives tows status above freighters
except the RAM rule.

That's not true on the SF bay. Tugs with barges have stand on.

Not knowing the area, I have a couple of comments.

I'm not sure you were stand on, given that if there is
any doubt about draft constraint. Also, a tug and
a barge have status in most cases, but again, I don't
know the area.

The tow has no special status unless it declares itself a RAM (Restricted
Ability to Maneuver) and displays the appropraite lights in addition to
the tow
lights..
