I towed a 5000' loaded TT with a 2004 Durango w/5.7L hemi. Did very well but was somewhat slower than I like up the steeper mountain grades (6-8%). I would not have wanted to pull more than 6,000lbs up those hills. I had 3.55 gears and I believe the 2011 5.7L has a bit more power but the megacab must weigh quite a bit more than the Durango.
