Second the motion

I agree that the Durango is a good towing choice. I have towed several trailers a lot of miles with my former Dakota with the 5.2 L engine and I think the Durango with either the 4.7 L (replaced the 5.2) or the 5.9 L would pull the Bambi in great style. I wouldn't hesitate to pull my 5000# International with one.

Personally, I don't think the Jeep or most other SUVs of that size are suitable for towing, regardless of what the advertising says. Too little wheelbase and too narrow for safety.
