Keep in mind that tow ratings are usually very optimistic by the manufacturers. Generally you will exceed one or more of the other, multiple limitations before you can get to the max tow rating. On the other hand, with a 6 cylinder (non boosted), maybe you could get to the max tow rating!! Just don't know that I would want to pull that much and listen to that little thing scream and die.....
