Ok, first skip the class 3. You are well over the 300/3000 rating. You will need a class 4.

Second, I do not know your state, but you may be required to have brakes over 3000#. You can use surge brakes with a manual reverse lockout, but the electrical lockout is much easier.

Third, and the true answer to your question, yes the base model will be able to tow what you are asking, it is just a question of if you want to do the hitch and plug setup. I tow a 5000# boat, and went with the 4X4 SE BT OR, but you will not be pulling up a slick ramp.
