In addition to the tow rating, also be aware of the combined gross vehicle weight rating, the weight of towed trailer, tow vehicle, and weight of people and gear in the tow vehicle. If you pack up the family and all you gear for a week away, it's easy to exceed the rating. Towing a 24' bowrider with a 3/4 ton truck, I can exceed my CGVWR without trying too hard.
