Tow ratings may not be an accurate guide in the above, for a variety of reasons. Meaning I wouldn't let them stop me or even alter direction. Keep on with the thought experiments.

Besides, one good-running MOPAR trumps four Fords parked in the front yard on any day.

You might also want to look into GV reliability. Not all that is claimed, unfortunately. Service intervals (fluid changes) are short. There is a thread out there in diesel land about an external fluid pump and filter being fitted to try to offset shortcomings. Seems I've read of GV's grenading almost as often as success is claimed over the past 30-years. Be diligent, is all.
