Topnotchtree,
Do not believe anything that comes out of a salesperson's mouth, or at least take it with a pound of salt. With very few exceptions, they have no clue about tow ratings. Short of being paid for their knowledge, we have some of the most professional experts on the subject right here; I am not one of them. Give them the numbers they ask for (no more and no less - "Just the facts, Ma'am") and they'll tell you if you're overweight, underpowered, or within the ballpark.
