Towing a 6000 lb trailer with a Taurus?

I can see the logic in Can-Ams setups. But applying that same logic that Andy uses comes up with durability and cooling system questions. And Liability too.
As I posted earlier, GCWR is generally what the cooling system on a vehicle is sized for, so a Taurus clearly has a weakness there. And a bigger trans cooler on a trans with a pump that does not flow the needed levels of fluid for an exceeded GCWR will be a big limitation.
I guess if one is willing to give up warranty, tiptoe around mountains, and risk liability exposure, the I suppose towing 6 times the Taurus's tow rating is a creative way to avoid buying a truck.
Don't forget the $3000 Hensley either...
