2.2x2000 = 4400# tow capacity (This is sounding better already).

Here's some numbers in things like foot-pounds instead of newton-meters:

I'm not seeing major problems with this as a tow vehicle, as long as you're using a Weight Distributing Hitch and assuming you can make the gross tow vehicle weight and axle weights come out OK on the truck scale.

rmcdanel, can you tell us what it says in the owners' manual about towing and check to see if there's anything interesting on the drivers' side door post sticker, like a number for the Gross Combined Weight Rating?
