Does anybody know what the towing capacity on this is?

I just saw a commercial where the showed one towing 2 Dirtbikes, and ATV, 2 motorcycles an 18? foot bowrider, a jetski and a ford explorer, I think i'm even missing something, but couldn't find the commercial online.

I wanna see that rig backing up. The new Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokees are pretty much the same vehicle and the Jeep is getting good reviews.

@Ga Boater,

I have an '01 Dakota with a 3.9 litre motor, I was surfing to see what it would tow when I stumbled on that site. When I was looking I was getting numbers from 1500lbs to 5600lbs. I was shocked to find that I can do 4000lbs.

You might want to see it, but your not going to see it, I live in a state that allows double towing and nobody I have ever run into can back those up, let alone the rig you see in this commercial!

:facepalm:

The best place to get the answer is send Dodge an email with the serial number on your vehicle and I am sure they can tell you just about everything you want to know about it, they normally respond with in two days.

I know it can't be driven on the roads legally or backed up and I don't care who is driving. What was it 4 trailers and the dolly with the Explorer. I never saw anyone manage to backup a tow dolly, plenty of tries but no success. Any way, I still want to see that rig backing up, I might even pay admission. :p

It's got a towing capacity of 7400 pounds.
That's with the 5.7L Hemi V8 and towing package. The maximum with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is 6200 pounds (with towing package). Still not bad!
