That's a pretty tall order, even the newest CUV's rated for 3500 on rated 27ish hwy.

I went to Mitsubishi Australia website to compare their ratings for Outlanders vs US ratings. They don't get the 3.0v6, but rate the 2.4 gas at 3500 with trailer brakes, 1650 without, vs 1500 US.

I think a huge part is about speed and US expectations to be able to pull the rated capacity without having to slow down and having some places with 80 mph speed limits.
