They claim 5000 lbs but I wouldn't tow any more than 4000lbs.

I've noticed that most automotive sales propaganda exaggerates towing capacities. Yeah it might advertise 5000 lb, but just because they say a vehicle can, doesn't mean you should/ or it's smart to do so.

My SUV is some odd number like 7435 lbs. Probably a metric conversion.

Here's a lot of trailer for less than 3000lbs. Of course, by the time the wife gets
done loading it up it'll be closer to 4000!
