  • I towed a 2003 3500 Ram a few times before buying a Jeep. The 3500 towed fine but it was a "mouthful" for a toad.
  • I tow a 2500 4x4 gas chevy and it does great. Razor in the bed and off we go. Only thing is a four door full size truck and tow bar makes for a long dinghy. I wish I had your 500 HP.
  • BTW, you probably want the "Dinghy Towing" forum, not the "Tow Vehicle" forum.

    The name of the forum probably threw you off because you were probably thinking that "dinghy" referred to a boat. In RV parlance, it is a figurative term referring to the vehicle towed behind the RV to get around once at your destination. Another common term for this is "toad," a play on the word "towed" as in towed vehicle.

    "Tow Vehicle" is a thing, not an action, in this case :)
  • Towable 4 down.....need to confirm with your Owners Manual PG. 375/376 Recreational Towing 4X4

  • I don't know if the Dodge transfer case can go into neutral, but other than that, it should be fine. My friend tows a 2012 Chevy Diesel CC long bed 4X4 with his Razor up on top of the back of it without any problems. His has 500HP also.
