Mules are slightly smaller than their horse parent, and when they grow they share traits of both a donkey (the long ears), and the horse (color, tail, etc.). A Mule in the grass.
For example, a 2014 Ford F-150 is considered a half ton truck but most variants can carry a lot more than 1,000 pounds in the bed. Since these terms are probably not going away any time soon, it's best just to think of them as smaller, mediumest, and more than medium.. (Pause for laughter).
There are aftermarket trailer hitches for your vehicle rated at 3,500 lbs. I have a 2014 equinox 4 cylinder 6 speed wondering how much weight I can haul thanks. Hello Rick, You towing capacity is 9,600 lbs. so the gross trail weight you can pull will be 9,600 lbs.
