Chrysler minivans w/towing are rated to tow up to a 3800# trailer.

Hmm, that means that a 3500# pound boat will only be... how much? ... over the
limit? I guess the trailer,
the fuel, the coolers, etc etc are weightless?

Thanks for your concern; but I checked this out before I spent $26K on
this car. I'd rather be at the limit with a Honda or Toyota than 25%
below the limit with a Detroit product.

Since Hondas and Toyotas are both built in the USA I'm not sure how this
figures.

I have mentioned this before, but it is important to check you vehicle's GVWT
(gross vehicle weight towing). This is the max that you can tow and safely stop
as this is the max that the tow vehicle can handle. You can tow heavier loads if
within the tongue weight, but you can't stop with the brakes in a panic stop
that sometime happens out there on the road when being in a group of crazies out
there.
have towed travel trailers for years and stayed within the specs and no
problems.
