[VAC] Tow vehicle
Jamie:
Like Tuna, I have towed many things over the years, especially heavy sailboats
up to Colorado's high mountain lakes. Like Tuna, I have a '99 Dodge Durango, 5.9
ltr V8, 3.92 axle, which has been a fabulous all around vehicle. Because we also
have a 97 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with 7.4 ltr V8, I was considering selling the
Durango. My wife put a stop to that, She loves the size and capability of the
Durango.
From my experience, the Durango works well, especially if you need one vehicle
that does it all. But if you plan to tow a heavy trailer (over 6000 lbs) or do a
lot of mountain grades, go with a 3/4 ton pickup.
