Thank you for all the feedback.
I don't have the Durango yet so I can't give you hard numbers. The Dodge website makes it hard to find precise numbers beyond towing capacity. Question: how can it be rated to pull 7200 pounds if the tow hitch cannot handle that much?
We need a vehicle for carpooling, taking family around, etc. We would use that capacity almost weekly, that's why we wanted the SUV. We thought about a truck with a camper shell and outboard jump seats but worried about safety and as kids get older, maybe not that comfortable for them.
If I have to buy both an SUV, and a truck, and then a trailer, we're looking at 6 figures!
