Nathan I think you could pull it but it will be definetly be straining. You will really be laboring the motor, trans, brakes. Gas Mileage will suffer greatly, the motor will be reving much higher than a v8, plus there will be more wear and tear on internals of the motor and the trans due to the added strain. My buddy owns a trans shop...he said you wouldn't believe how many transmissions come in from overheating because of overload....just because your vehicle says it can pull 5k don't mean it will for to long. We used to have a jeep cherokee with a 6 cy, towing a 16ft lund we would lose speed from 72 down to 60 going up hills. It seems we always had the pedal matted just to go up hills or to maintain speed. The 6 cylinders just don't have the torque to maintain speed on hilly terain. If you have any more ?'s just pm me I'll let you talk to my trans guy if youd like.
