You should be!!! You will ruin an expensive vehicle is you repeatedly tow over a vehicle's capacity.

Power is not the determining factor. A turbo s need RPMs to spool the turbo which generates its power and torque to move the load. The high RPM and a slow moving vehicle = new tranny.

The H 1 makes no power, but LOADS of TQ off throttle. Plus it has torque multiplying hubs and a super low granny gear, so can tow a small village with stressing it's tranny or other hardware.

There are many factors that go into tow ratings, and you should research the topic more thoroughly before spending serious $$. Based on your comments it seems that your understanding in not complete.
