What factors Determine Tow Rating

Your wallet is what will determine your tow vehicle. You can tow a 6000# trailer staying within reason of posted speed limits with just about any full size car or 1500 p/u. If you can afford $40,000 + you can get a new 1500 p/u with a 12,000 GVW rating.

The most important thing is a good trailer brake controller and good trailer brakes. Lousy trailer brakes will even make towing a 6000# trailer a challenge with a 3500.
