Salesmen will often tell you anything you want to hear to make a sale. According to the Tiffin web site, the 32BR has a towing capacity of 4500 lb. I would believe Tiffin over a salesman any day.

In addition to the capacity of the hitch, the engine used in the Breeze only produces 215 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. The torque isn't bad, and the peak is produced at low RPM; but I believe the engine may be a bit under-powered for towing a 5400 lb vehicle.

PAZ has got it right. From the Tiffin Breeze spec sheet:
• Trailer Hitch Capacity:
• 28 BR – 4,000 Lb.
• 32 BR – 4,500 Lb.

I'm going to be towing about 4700# with my 32 BR. I'll let you know how it does. Even though the brochure says 4500# it has a GCVW of 28000# and weighs about 20500# empty. The bad part for you would be that the hitch is only rated at 5000#.

How did your towing 4700# work out. I'm trying to determine a new toad for my 32BR Breeze. What are you towing?
