Tow ratings are done with FLAT payloads like a utility trailer and sheets of steel. The rating DOES NOT take into account wind resistance....side wind (sway)...or stopping!!!!. I will bet if you buy anything close to what you just stated you are going to...regret it....and have one hell of a time trying to control it. I tow with a Ford Excursion with a V10 and there are those on here that swear you need to alter it to tow properly. To be BLUNT....your vehicle was NEVER intended to do what you are looking to do. You DO NOT have enough vehicle for anything over 25 foot and 5000 pounds...MAXIMUM. This is from someone that has been towing since the early 80's and towed well over 250,000 miles. You wanted replys from those with experience....now LISTEN
