most with a V8 .. but avoid manual transmissions unless its a heavy duty.
my Ram 1500 V SIX manual.. would only do 3,000 pound trailer.. but the same engine with an automatic was 4,500 pounds. I am talking 2 wheel drive.
WDH is needed when trailer is heaver that tow vehicle or Nose heavy.. my opinion.
check owners manual and on the Door sticker.. for what a vehicle can tow and carry. as the door sticker is the last WORD on that it can do..
