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 ๐Ÿ™‚

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.
