What happens if we tow like 5,000 lb and north of it?I am interested in towing a large boat to a lake 40 minutes away without damaging the drive train or shear off the hitch.I am concerned whether the hitch can withstand the load during pulling a boat out of the water, and drivetrain damage during the trip itself - although I assume drivetrain warranty would cover that as Mitsubishi would never be able to prove I towed exceeding the max limit.I did tow with my current 2019 Hyundai Kona 2L gas which has no towing rating, using small class 1 receiver - towing a 2500+ pounds camper but just barely in manual mode and 4th gear, so I am hoping that the Outlander PHEV can manage 5-6 k pounds, given that there are no gears that could break in the transmission, wouldn't that just mean constant high revs to replenish the battery and/or provide more current into the engines to pull the 6k pounds?
