Do you have a frame-mounted receiver on your Dakota? If the
bonehead was staring at a 1 1/2" trailer ball on your step
bumper, he was absolutely correct. The bumper is a Class II
hitch, limit 2000# and 200# tongue weight.

This is true, when properly equipped. Spend the bucks on
a nice Class III or IV receiver. You won't regret it, the peace
of mind alone is worth it IMO.
You can always get the guy to look at your GCVW on the capacity
sticker in the driver's door frame.

I have had no end of problems renting car trailers from the
yard yahoos. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy one
one of these days.

Is that the performance computer? I'd be careful towing with
that thing equipped.
Good luck,
