We tow a 07 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 4 down behind our Thor Palazzo 33.3. It has an ISB 300 with an Allison MH2100. In our setup the weak link is the transmission which is only rated to 30,000# GCWR. My setup weighs less than that. I notice the Tahoe behind us.
OP, you will need a Blackhawk 2 All Terrain 10K tow bar and matching base plates plus you will need a braking system in the Dodge as well as either auxiliary lights or a magnetic light kit. This assumes that your Dodge is a 4x4 with a transfer case that can be put into neutral. As said by other posters the critical thing is you don't exceed you GCWR or GVWR. You can if need be upgrade your hitch as long as your coach CCWR isn't exceeded. You will suffer fuel economy loss when accelerating and going up hills. I suggest you completely load your rig for a trip and get 4 corner weights plus the full combined weight. These rigs are made to be operated at their maximum weights.
