These figures are manufacturer ratings stored on 16 catalog configurations. Optional factory tow packages are often missing from this table. Every stored rating in this year falls in a tight band — do not treat 3,500 lb as a complete model maximum. Confirm the door jamb and owner’s manual for the vehicle you have.
