Towing

Asked by GuruVHV6J Aug 25, 2018 at 11:46 AM about the 2009 Dodge Durango SLT 4WD

Question type: General

Our Durango is a 2009 SLT 4x4, 4.7 liter V8. It does have a tow package on it however we have been told we cannot haul a camper with it because the engine  wouldn't be able to handle it. Is there anything we can do to upgrade the towing ability to avoid buying a different vehicle.

The motor doesn't have anything to do with it till what you are hauling exceeds the weight limit. If you have a 19 foot long camper it will haul it fine.
