That is why you pay attention to the Tow
and total
Total maximum gross vehicle weight.

One sleeper is the Chevy Blazer SS which is a great tow vehicle.
Has the Power, Trans, Brakes and Suspension to tow 6000 lb easily.
Don Compolito tows with one and seen several racers using them.

Also popular is the new Durango RT.
