Towing capacity is not the answer to all the real world factors in towing a trailer. The specs don't address the weather that you might be exposed to. Safety should be your number 1 concern, for both you and your family as well as others on the roads you are driving. I have been towing since 1969 with a car. Towed a 17 Ft Holiday Rambler with a Chevy Station wagon. It worked just fine. In today's world I doubt that I would tow over a 25 ft or 26 ft Trailer with a 1/2 Ton pickup. No more than about 6000 pounds. Anything heavier I would go to at least a 3/4 Ton. Just my opinion. I am no expert.
