Funny that you are asking this. I am boat shopping for a maybe a Bayline Bowrider and am looking at the weights of various models and trailers. I have a 2009 Chevy Colorado with the
3.7L I5 cyl engine. I will look at the manual tonight and get you specifics if you want as I need them too.

My vehicle manual is pathetic. it gives a touge weight only. all the information I was able to get was from trailer sales places and they have a vested intrest to sell.

I have a Hummer H3 with the 3.5 I5 Engine and it tows fine. Its not designed to tow huge items but we have towed a 65 Mustang on a trailer before with no problems. I have the Maunal Tranny on my H3 too as well as the upgraded suspension package so I am not sure if that makes a difference.

The aluminum trailer and boxster should be fine though. We traveled a few hundred miles that way when moving a few years ago with the boxster on the aluminum U Haul trailer and it was just fine.
