I would agree that the vehicle has some degree of towing capacity. But consider this:
1. You are towing with a vehicle against the manufacturers stated restrictions. Doesn't matter what the reason may be for the restriction or if the vehicle seems to perform adequately and safely when doing so.
2. The vehicle is involved in an accident while in motion. Doesn't matter who seems to be at fault.
3. The Insurance Company Lawyers for both parties get involved.
4. Your Insurance Company refuses to pay because you where operating the vehicle outside of it's *stated* capabilities.
5. The other party's Insurance Company says no matter who may be at fault, they are going to sue you because you were operating the vehicle outside of it's *stated* capabilities.
Just sayin'.
