Has anyone run through the calculations on this with Toyota to see if the combined gross vehicle weight rating is really close to 6000lbs?
4000lbs for the car, and 2000lbs for a trailer. That seems pretty hossy, but the owners manual seems read that way to me. I am curious because the Taurus wagon this car is replacing had all kinds of limitations such as 1100lb trailer weight with two people, and you must reduce the trailer weight if you put more people/gear in the car. My gross combined vehicle weight would be closer to 4900lbs (for launching a small sailboat only), and that seems like I have a margin of error in there. I just want to be sure the car is up to this before I attempt anything with it. Thanks again for any info / discussion.- posted
