Yeah you can get that from any dealer if they are willing to cooperate.

Note to all: I can pull build sheets for GM, Ford, and Dodge & friends.

Well, between the dealer that sold us our vehicle and trying to verify the information ourselves, we missed that our SUV model needed AWD to be able to tow 5,000 lb. It has a tow rating of 3,500 lbs. So, we are looking for another vehicle with the proper towing capacity. I found a site that will give you your car tow capacity. I wanted to share it here in case it is helpful to anyone else. Thanks for everyone's help. We hope to get this figured out soon. https://rv.campingworld.com/towguide

I know there's a lot to consider when getting your first camper, but let me also share a couple more important items in addition to the wisdom already shared.....

Not all trailer hitches are rated for use with Weight Distribution Hitches. So even if your vehicle is rated for 5000 + pounds towing capacity you need to ensure that your hitch is rated for that weight, the needed tongue weight, and rated for WDH use.

Also, make sure you have a full size spare tire on your tow vehicle as there's no towing a TrailManor (or any other trailer) while your tow vehicle is using a donut style spare tire.
