A penguin is having transmission problems so he takes the car into the shop. Goes out to get some ice cream while he waits, because it is a hot day.
He comes back to the shop and the tech says "You blew a seal".
Penguin replies "No, no. That is just ice cream."

That is the old penguin joke...

He comes back to the shop and the tech says "Looks like you blew a seal".
Penguin wipes his mouth and says, "No, no. That is just ice cream."

Just because you can get from point A to point B with a marginal Tow Vehicle does not mean it is the best thing to do. Do you want the tow to be the most white knuckle, cross-your-fingers-it-holds-togeter part of your track day?
I much prefer to tow with some margin given that may be tired on the drive home.

I use an 01 4.4 X5 with my 993 on a Trailex Open. Pleanty of power, very few downshifts, decent mileage and comfy too.
Hooking up the brake controller is quite a job. If anyone needs the secret, I can share, for a fee

I woudn't recommend loading up to 4500+ lbs on any 5000 lbs. capacity tow vehicle. Get a used 09 Treg with 3.0L TDI. It should to the job easily.
I use a 2008 Yukon XL Denali - loaded to the max, long wheelbase(VERY VERY Important) and 7900 lbs. tow capacity. My max is basically the same as yours ~4500 lbs. It pulls like a breeze and completely stress free.
