Anyone have any details on what the manual states for towing? I.e don't tow in drive only in 3rd, etc.
Thx!

So I assume the "2,500 - 30,000" is a typo and you meant 3,000 lbs fully loaded

At 3,000 lbs you are less than half way to the max, assuming it has the towing package and its a 4X4. I pull a ski boat that weighs in at 5,000 lbs with the trailer and its a piece of cake to tow it, on long trips I sometimes forget its back there.

NOTE: most people recommend turning off overdrive when towing as it makes life much easier on your transmission.
