Sure it can "TOW" that weight but can it "CARRY" 4,075# pin weight plus any other weight like hitch, cargo, humans???????
Open your eyes folks, the real question can it safely "CARRY" the load?????????
I would put that on my 3500 srw and not bat an eye. Can I do it safely? Sure I can. People seem to not understand that towing safely is the driver, not the equipment.
I know some people that if pulling a popup with a Kenworth, will manage to put it in a ditch or over a bank.
I also know some people that can pull a 30ft TT with a Chevy Luv and tow coast to coast with no problems at all.
