Now I don't think that's 100% accurate. This past winter I pulled out my budddy in his 2004 Camry. Which weighs about 3000-3500. That was in snow, with rwd and 2.73's. I had no issue at all pulling him out. Just a little tire spin.😂

You responded to a post from 9 years ago.

Those particular ratings are because of the Mazda manual transmission. The I6 has plenty of torque to tow heavier and the chassis is plenty strong, but you will break the transmission if you make a habit of it. It has a weak input shaft and was designed for a lighter vehicle with a less powerful engine.

139 confirms the wheelbase

GJM means it has a cloth split bench seat, and that it's a styleside supercab

I don't show a listing for a "T" trans.

P means that if it's tutone, it's supposed to be "Tobago Green/Oxford White"

D7 just tells what part number the springs are.

19 means you have 3.55 gears, but both your front and rear axles are non limited slip.

Take care,

Axle 19 is 3.55 non-limited slip. Trans E is a E4OD.
