The hitch on our 2003 is rated at 5000lbs, but the truck is only rated for 3500. We tow a 3000-3500lb boat behind it and that is about as much weight as I would want to pull with it. There's just not enough torque to pull more. Even at 3000-3500lbs, you are going to want good trailer brakes - the Sorento's brakes are not up to the extra load. After towing the boat twice without trailer brakes, I installed surge brakes and everything ahs been good since them.
