    Here's my old 2.7l towing a bass boat. Probably right at towing capacity fully loaded.

    Not a 2.7, but my 2.4 does its fair share of towing:

    And occasionally a jet ski

    This is my new truck with my trailer, but I towed this for years with my '04 2.7. Two place snowmobile trailer loaded to the max with 2 heavy utility snowmobiles and at least 400lbs of ice fishing gear. Never weighed it but guessing it's somewhere around 2200 lbs total.

    Also this which is pretty light, maybe 1400 lbs total:

    Mine sucks. I usually tow the bike plus have all my belongings in the truck about 800 miles at the beginning and end of each summer. The 2rz is screaming along in 3rd or 4th (5th just doesn't happen) and can hold 70 usually if I'm flogging it.

    I feel bad for her but she keeps on ticking along
