If the prevailing wisdom is that it should be half of whats listed as capacity then why don't they just say that?


What prevailing wisdom is that? I see that statement from one person on a differnt thread, and that is just his opinion. Not based on facts.

If you really want to know, go to your dealer, and ask them if you can really tow up to 2000 lbs. Does this vehicle have a tow package, and a Tow/Haul mode?

As mentioned above, it's not the going, but the stopping, that would worry me on a short wheelbase, lighter tow vehicle. That said, I'd recommend trailer brakes on that combination.

If the tranny has the cooler, then I'd say go for it. As long as you get trailer brakes, that is.
