Al:
I tow a 28' Excella with a Dodge 2500, a 318 engine and 3.55 axle. I bought this van specifically to tow the Airstream in 1997 and I now have 44,000 miles of towing on it. The operators manual states this vehicle has a trailer towing capacity of 7800 lbs. When towing , I lock out the overdrive and tow in 3rd gear. Never had a problem. For some reason Chevy and Ford has rated their vans down on towing capacity with the 350 +/- engines compared to Chrysler. I checked this factor before I bought my van. However, I am looking at the Chevy van with the 6 liter engine for when I trade. Chevy has it rated to tow about 10,000 lbs. which is more like it. Go for the 3/4 or the 1 ton version in a van to tow with. Good luck. Jeff
