Only problem with these is the low torque engine.
There's nothing there under 3000rpms so you have to be prepared to let it rev to make progress with a load on the back.
IIRC peak power is somewhere north of 6000 rpms.
With the tow package it WILL tow 5000#, but it's hard work!
He's not talking about towing 5k#, only 2k, and he's not towing a travel trailer (giant sail!) either.
OK, 2000# would probably be fine. I towed a 3500# boat once and hated every minute!
My old '96 Buick Roadmaster wagon did a MUCH better job with 30 fewer horsepower, but the bottom end torque made all the difference.
