I'm going to call around to the dealers Neil mentioned and see what I
can see. Of course, I'll let the list know what I find. it would be
*very* easy for me to head through detroit on my return trip to
Rochester, too....

I'll stake my guess at around 6000 pounds for you. and that is
completely uneducated =)
I'll also stake my bet that any of us would be safe on a trailer with a
capacity of 7000 pounds. which of course would also put the towed load
a ways above our tow ratings, but then again who's keeping track? =)
