If this is for a trailer, if I remember right, it should be about 4000 lbs.
For the inside of the vehicle, I think it was something like 890 lbs. I used
to own a slightly older one, and if I remember correctly, I should be very
close.

I owned a 97 and a 99 Path, and I think you're right... it's 4 or 4500.
However, fwiw, I towed a 7500lb camper several times without any problems...
through the moutains on the PA turnpike. Not something one should do long
term for sure, but if you're only wanting to relocate things a few hundred
miles, I doubt you'll have any problems.

Wow, really? With that weak 3.3L? I used to tow a 3200lb boat once ina
while with mine and I thought it was going to have a coronary on the hills.

Thanks for all the input. But I'm not looking to pull anything, just
wondering how much weight I can put inside the truck? Is it 1000
lbs.?? Not sure....

I think you'll be pushing the limit at 1,000 lbs inside. In fact I think
that's probably a few lbs above max. If it will be highway driving, other
than being a bit bouncy, it probably won't hurt anything. If you're
planning on curvey roads with some potholes, I think I'd exercise a little
extra caution.

Honestly, I was amazed at how well it performed. I switched out of O/D on
the serious mountains, but I did that more to keep it from constantly
shifting in adn out of od... and it also hoped the higher rpms would keep
the engine and tranny from heating up as it increases circulation. My temp
gage did increase slightly on the larger/longer grades, but never anything
serious. I was pulling a 7500 lb airstream.
