A heavy sedan as a tow vehicle

[TG Twinkie]

The question is: Does the vehicle have the proper cooling system for the engine and transmission along with other items like a larger alternator to handle the additional house battery charging. These items are common in vehicles that have the "tow package".
I would follow the manufacturers lead. If they say it is not designed to tow. Why would you challenge their statement?

Who is saying it is not designed to tow? First you make up this fake statement and then you are asking not to challenge this statement... Nice strategy...

The owner's manual says that the manufacturer does not provide a tow rating. They have not looked at towing, it would appear.

The next paragraph in the owner's manual says that if you do tow, make sure you understand that the tongue weight applied to the tow vehicle comprises part of the payload the vehicle is rated to carry, you can't ignore it. Seems very reasonable.
