Should be fine as long as you don't overload it. I think the tow rating has more to do with the uni body construction of the vehicle rather than the capabilities of the drive train. Could be wrong. I've heard of a few on here and other places that regularly tow more than the 2500# rating with no issues, but be aware, if something does happen and it can be proven it was due to towing more than the rated capacity, your warranty will be void.
