I am wrong with the 5000 pounds .. it is 3500 as I have the 2.0 limited with trailer package which offers a larger rad .. bigger fans and a transmission oil cooler. I have a class 3 hitch installed rated at 5000 pounds.
The 2.0 turbo has 264hp with 269 ft/lb of torque at 1750-3000 rpm. That's more torque and hp then the V6 and it weighs only 300 lbs. Doesn't even make sense they would rate the V6 to haul 5000 lbs. The turbo is no slouch as I traded a fx4 ecoboost in on it and I'm telling you it would keep up and haul ass with that any day. No I'm not saying it will haul the 12k it's rated for. I tow my atv now plus trailer which is about 1500 pounds and I literally do not know it's even on there. The 3600 is what the seller told me .. not sure if he got that from the sticker or what but I'll tell you u wouldn't be considered over a couple hundred pounds. If fools with mini vans are hauling these I won't have a problem.
