Just some science, not meant to initiate a discussion about Sienna's. I hope most of the readers here picked up on that. Many pickups pull trailers double their weight....and I do not criticize them.
Easily found, there are three of them nearby and many others? Some SiennaS slightly modified are pulling 7,000 lbs or more, see Sienna Chat and go there and harass them please.
Next you can start worrying about the boat. pulling as many as 36 skiers at once!
This will be my last comment unless it has to do with trailer tire experiences.
I suspect many have quit this board when the trolls jump them.
Putting a 5k rated hitch on a vehicle which the manufacturer has determined is only safe to tow 3.5k, doesn't give the vehicle a 5k tow rating. People towing 1500 lbs over their vehicles tow rating, and some towing over double the vehicle tow rating, (as you claim) are foolish, and putting themselves and other road users at risk.
Rolling down the road with my RV, I'm at approx. 35k GCW. The difference is I am well under capacity of all applicable specs for the trailer and tow vehicle.
