What a beast!!!!
I was at work Wednesday and a truck was loaded in our dock and would not start.
This was a fully loaded Kenworth Tractor and Trailer. Probably 73000LB
I actually pulled it away from the loading dock and out into our staging area.
It was about 300yards away.
Just hooked to it put it in 4 wheel low and it pulled it with little effort I was very very surprised.
This is with the truck in my sig.
So my question.........
What is the max this machine will pull given flat level paved surface.

for a short term very careful pull like you did - sounds like 73k 
but long term SAFE towing ?
it's limited to what your tires, hitch, frame, tranny, engine can handle....
our 05 Ex has a heavy duty hitch, but one of the above limits it to the 11K max (properly equipped and maintained of course )
