You can tow whatever you’re willing to try. The “tow rating” doesn’t mean much. Leaves out how that decision is formed. We can build an 1800-lb trailer your truck could never get above 5-mph.
At best it’s ballpark.
Does your TT weigh 6,300-lbs?. Well, the shape of an AS is such it takes 20% less HP to pull. So let’s be realistic (in the way those ratings are realistic) and state your AS weighs only 5000-lbs.
Cool, huh?
