towing capacity for a repu

Quite a lot. My friend towed an overbuilt sandrail on a large trailer which was originally intended for a lifted baja with 32" tires. It towed the sandrail from WA to some sand dunes in OR and back again just fine.
My REPU has towed my friend's REPU when his clutch lost its lining during some spirited driving. It could have towed way more.

I flat towed an FJ40 Landcrusier. It tipped the scales at 4500lbs with all its trail gear. Including the 6cyl that left me stranded.
I didn't even empty the REPU bed of all it contents.
But I can't answer for what Mazda rates it at as far as towing capacity.

what's the point of owning a REPU if you're not going to use it as a truck? otherwise it's just wasted potential.
the REPU had much higher towing capacity than the B-series pickups, for what that's worth. Hell, if I needed a tow vehicle I'd LOVE to use a REPU

that's like the guy (selling his FD) who was all upset at some guy who wanted to know if his car was a non-sunroof model (implying he wanted to race it). what's the point of having an RX-7 if you're not going to race it? otherwise it's just a waste of car.
