If you can't figure it out for yourself that there are other things besides capability and safety behind a vehicles tow rating, then it's all moot. You want to go by the book, fine. It's quite easy for whomever to read the book to get their answers and that's all you've done is quote manufactured stated ratings.

Really! YOU ASSUME WAY TO MUCH!!--(must be long term memory loss!) lol

What do you want to hear or see?!

That, towing weights over 5K# will nearly DOUBLE fuel consumption (depending on terrain), or that it's best to just leave it in 3rd gear/tow haul mode, so it's not constantly shifting, or (on the experience side) that I log more hour a year driving a house, and TOWING My H, than most people tow in years!
Launch the boat more a month than most tow in a year!--Now this is gettin fun! Plenty more, but WHY?

Speaking of Armchair bookwork!
Everyone-(novice to Know It All) could Get something out of this read! And, Do You REALLY KNOW, Your Tongue Weight?--I Do!

I'm guessing those of us that go offroad should heed the manufacturers ratings there too just to err on the side of safety. Since we are apparently too stupid to use common sense.
Now that's some funny Chit! ROFL I guess I can't be part of the off road crowd! Even though, I've broke my rig--ALSO!--before most others here! LOL

Really need to put this into perspective! capability and safety ARE!, A BIG PART of Towing!

I'm done! lol Time for a beer! I'll Buy!
