But the I6 can certainly tow a water toy and should not be dismissed as incapable for that duty. It still has a 6,000 lb towing capacity.

Point well taken. Our jetski with trailer is around 1,000 lbs, not a problem for an I6. Where I start to become uncomfortable is when towing a 4,000 lb + payload. Our intentions are to purchase a boat next year and I think it will put a strain on the I6 when trailering. I suppose my philosophy is more power is better than less when towing.
