LOL, to those who have never driven one! :S
My DD 2006 at 88,000 mile towed over specs, 4,800# U-Haul enclosed trailer, three adults, two large 100#+ dogs, bed and trunk near full, weighed trailer, didn't get GCVW. :S
Portland, OR to Bolder, CO, pulled like a champ! Winter driving in Colorado, zero issues with AWD!!!
