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.
And I gave some numbers, as did others. Did you miss that part?
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.
