I refuse to risk hauling #5,000 behind my one ton just because I don't feel that much weight is a good or safe idea for me to pull/haul, yet, it is rated for #5,000. #2,500 OR less? Piece of cake for the one ton......

Ypour Camry would in my estimation be at it's outer limits @ #2,000. I would seriously consider renting the truck to move whatever it is you're moving/hauling.
If I needed to move 2000 pounnds, I would certainly find an alternative.
My Camry should be OK pulling something like a 4 x 8, or smaller open utility-trailer for hauling a washer or fridge locally.
I actually started this thread to let people know that Camry wagon struts & springs might be an upgrade option if their OE Camry sedan units are too tired for hauling or towing. Also to enquire if anyone had already done similar upgrades to their Toyota springs and struts. Mine were simply too far gone to even carry heavy loads in the car!
I'll post an update if I have any issues with my conversion.

Happy Motoring, Mark
