I towed a Dodge Dakota 4x4 with a V-8. It's actually almost the same weight as the new half ton Ford F-150 in 4x4. It towed okay and I actually took it from California to Wisconsin and back over both the Sierras and the Rockies and made it just fine, but you can tell it's back there. It was a heavy toad. I have recently got rid of it and bought a 2017 2dr Wrangler. It's about 1000 pounds lighter so I'm looking forward to only have that light weight back there again. I had a wrangler before and it made a great towed vehicle.
