No, actually aj is about spot on with his response. Sure there’s some conjecture about the 9 vs 6 k thing, but no more than the geritol crowd tossing up the white flag anytime someone doesn’t have a dually to tow a popup.
Gde, it’s an absolutely fair comparison with the 30klb story. Why is one dually rated to tow say 14klb and the same brand and year rated for 30k? Chassis? Nope, same. Brakes? Nope, same. Drivetrain? Yup. If one burns unleaded and has highway gears and the other is a HO diesel with deeper gears, THAT is the difference.
But it’s hard for the uninformed to understand that....and now we have turned someone else’s thread into a Peeing match.
FWIW, I always try to give a real answer first before jumping on the old guy scared of towing bandwagon.
To those saying it’s not acceptable to tow within the ratings, because that’s what your saying.....if you can’t quote specifics as to why you feel that way, real specifics, not some conjecture from someone who hasn’t been there done that, you should refrain from replying.
All the naysayers....quick quiz.
What transmission does the OPs Durango have?
Are the axles the same as a SRT Durango?
