We do own a 1998 Dodge Dakota 5.2L V8 318 club cab with factory installed towing package. It has 230,000 miles on it. GVWR is 5,320 lbs. Manual says with a class 4 hitch, it will tow GTW of 7,100 lb.
Will this do the job of towing the 25' 4,200 lb TT? I wonder if it could make it all the way cross country and back, and up and down mountain roads at Yosemite?
We did not consider this vehicle because of its age and accumulated mileage, but if this would be adequate for a year or so, we could buy a newer truck down the road. That would be a huge help financially and we could buy a better TT if we do not have to shell out money for a newer vehicle as well.
