Ill take back my # rating, we ran a 4500# and it was great most of the time, but when it came to pulling a 5K vehicle with locked up brakes and flat tires, it struggled. Granted.. it did the job, but took some muscle and some time to get the job done. Although that was ONE vehicle out of the many, no sense in going too small if your buddies willing to pay for it. I just didn't want to steer your decision one way and it not be what you were expecting. Good luck man.
