How big can I tow?

No. I wouldn't tow anything more that 22' and maybe 4500 lbs loaded with that Durango.

I agree. 32 feet camper is way to much for that short wheel base on the Durango and it just ain't up to much more than a smaller camper, in my humble opinion, which is worth just about what you paid for it.

Really? That small? Not what I was expecting to hear. It has an 8900 pound towing capacity according to my owners manual.

If you want specific answers to your question we need your Durango's max payload, GVWR and actual curb weight. Towing capacity does not reflect what you can tow in a travel trailer. You will run out of payload way before you get anywhere near that towing capacity. Attempting to tow a 32' TT with the short wheelbase of a Durango is another problem. Without the specific numbers I mentioned I suspect you will be limited to a trailer of no more than 5,000# GVWR and you may rest assured it will be nowhere near 32'. Good luck.

:C

It's 116" wheelbase is far too short for towing a trailer that long.

I would not even touch it with your Durango. Trade that Durango in on a new Ram 2500 Diesel.. Hook on and roll out.

I towed for years with my Durango with the smaller 5.3 and my camper is 26' with a GVWR of 4800lbs. Had plenty of power to pull which most Durangos can pull a lot of weight but you have to keep in mind they are a smaller mid size SUV. The longer the TT the more wind area you have. I can say that the bigger full frame of my Avalanche is much more stable while towing. It comes down to CAN YOU or SHOULD YOU.

You can do it, but would not be enjoyable. Had a 2008 Durango, before buying my 2012 X-lite (32' 5400lb dry)I did all the math. On paper it looked good, on the highway was a miserable experience. Turned out physics was not on my side. The wheelbase was too short and too narrow. 1st trip out was very windy and the trailer had total control over the Durango.

Traded the Durango in on a F150, totally different experience.

Dodge body builder guide http://www.rambodybuilder.com/2005sbbgl/docs/hb/mlup.pdf shows the Durango has a 7150 lb tow rating with the 3.55 axle and a 8150 lb tow rating with the the 3.92 axle. Both show a 1400 lb payload.

Keep in mind tow ratings are for all types of trailers. As mentioned a 32' TT will have lots of tail wag for that small Durango especially at those kind of weights.

I also don't think you will like the towing performance or handling issues from that small vehicle. I would look at 24'-26' TTs at say 5500-6000 lb wet weights at max for the Durango.

Yes, it would be un-wise to tow anything over 5,000 pounds and/or 23 feet
