Durnago and dakota towing.

[55Willy]

Either of em would have a 4.7 v8 and auto tranny. or should I just keep saving for the dream ride (diesel i test drove)

is the durnago/dakota platform rated for good towing. the sites all claim 6K max. which is the willy's on a trailer and no spare parts or tools or anything in it,LOL

hhmmmm just tell me diesel so I can get these "little" trucks out of my mind,LMAO

They seem ok for towing small loads, but my brother has said that he wouldn't ever tow with his Durango again, after pulling their Neon on a full trailer from Philly to Pitt.
I guess it just wasn't that great in the hills and all according to him.

Personally they just seem way to small to be doing any serious hauling with.

I towed with my Dakota a couple times, and really felt it was underpowered and just didn't have the control over the trailer that it should have.

my dad has the 5.9 (360) with the towing package, but he dosent like to tow with it for some reason, its only our boat wich is a 20' bayliner, not to heavy but he dosent like how it handles with the boat, our blazer tows it better /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

If you want to tow something, get a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. Power doesn't matter to me personally, but controlling the load does.

I've seen people tow rediculous loads with the old body style durango. Like a triple axle enclosed trailer.

I've seen it, looked scary, but.. they were cruising on flat land at like 75. I just stayed at 60 for best fuel economy.
