How to Choose the Right Vehicle for Towing
Ram and Dakota Pickups and Durango and Nitro SUVs all offer an extremely diverse range
of trailer towing capabilities. A wide variety of powertrain/axle ratio combinations and
optional trailering packages assure the perfect vehicle for your trailer towing needs. Your
Dodge Retailer can show you the various Trailer Tow Groups and other Heavy-Duty Groups
available on Dodge Trucks to help you select the equipment that’s right for your towing
needs. Careful attention to details up front is the difference between the right towing
vehicle and one that is not quite what you need to get the job done – a situation which
could prove extremely dangerous on the road. The first step is to familiarize yourself with
terms that will be used in this guide when discussing vehicle choices for towing. You’ll find
the guide easier to use if you take a few moments and review this terminology.

Figures shown in kilograms (pounds) and are based on lowest trim level and with base tire. (2)Payload figure shown must be reduced by the weight of the vehicle occupants, rear upfit
body, optional equipment and in-cab luggage, etc. (3)Payload (estimated) is rounded to the nearest 4.5 kg (10 lb). (4)Maximum GCWR and maximum trailer weight figures for 1500 models
shown include heavy-duty cooling with V8 engines. (5)Maximum trailer weight ratings include cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be decreased by the weight of rear upfit body, optional
equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck and passengers other than the driver. Dodge Ram Trucks used to tow trailers over 2268 kg (5000 lb) loaded weight must be properly equipped
with the available Class IV hitch receiver for 1500 and Trailer Tow Group (AHC) for 2500/3500, and trailers over 454 kg (1000 lb) loaded weight must have their own brakes. Trailer tow
restrictions apply. See your retailer for details. (6)Maximum trailer weights (estimated) are rounded to the nearest 23 kg (50 lb). Use synthetic axle lubricant with the Trailer Tow Group. The
diesel exhaust brake must be used with all diesel equipped vehicles with trailer weights over 4536 kg (10,000 lb). A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached to the vehicle frame should be
used if the trailer being towed weighs more than 4536 kg (10,000 lb) or has more than 454 kg (1000 lb) tongue weight. Note: Base Curb Weight can change.

Figures shown in kilograms (pounds) and are based on lowest trim level and with base tire. (2)Payload figure shown must be reduced by the weight of the vehicle occupants, rear upfit
body, optional equipment and in-cab luggage, etc. (3)Payload (estimated) is rounded to the nearest 4.5 kg (10 lb). (4)Maximum GCWR and maximum trailer weight figures for 1500 models
shown include heavy-duty cooling with V8 engines. (5)Maximum trailer weight ratings include cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be decreased by the weight of rear upfit body, optional
equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck and passengers other than the driver. Dodge Ram Trucks used to tow trailers over 2268 kg (5000 lb) loaded weight must be properly equipped
with the available Class IV hitch receiver for 1500 and Trailer Tow Group (AHC) for 2500/3500, and trailers over 454 kg (1000 lb) loaded weight must have their own brakes. Trailer tow
restrictions apply. See your retailer for details. (6)Maximum trailer weights (estimated) are rounded to the nearest 23 kg (50 lb). Use synthetic axle lubricant with the Trailer Tow Group. The
diesel exhaust brake must be used with all diesel equipped vehicles with trailer weights over 4536 kg (10,000 lb). A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached to the vehicle frame should be
used if the trailer being towed weighs more than 4536 kg (10,000 lb) or has more than 454 kg (1000 lb) tongue weight. Note: Base Curb Weight can change.

Figures shown in kilograms (pounds) and are based on SLT trim level, SXT trim level figures not available at time of printing. (2)Payload figure shown must be reduced by the weight of the
vehicle occupants, rear upfit body, optional equipment and in-cab luggage, etc. (3)Payload (estimated) is rounded to the nearest 4.5 kg (10 lb). (4)Maximum trailer weight ratings include
cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be decreased by the weight of rear upfit body, optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck and passengers other than the driver. Dodge Ram
Trucks used to tow trailers over 2268 kg (5000 lb) loaded weight must be properly equipped and include Trailer Tow Group (AHC), and trailers over 454 kg (1000 lb) loaded weight must have
their own brakes. Trailer tow restrictions apply. See your retailer for details. (5)Maximum trailer weights (estimated) are rounded to the nearest 23 kg (50 lb). Use synthetic axle lubricant
with the Trailer Tow Group. The diesel exhaust brake must be used with all diesel equipped vehicles with trailer weights over 4536 kg (10,000 lb). A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached
to the vehicle frame should be used if the trailer being towed weighs more than 4536 kg (10,000 lb) or has more than 454 kg (1000 lb) tongue weight. Note: Base Curb Weight can change.

Figures shown in kilograms (pounds) and are based on the lowest trim level. (2)Payload figure shown must be reduced by the weight of the vehicle occupants, rear upfit body, optional
equipment and in-cab luggage, etc. (3)Payload (estimated) is rounded to the nearest 4.5 kg (10 lb). (4)Maximum trailer weight ratings include cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be
decreased by the weight of rear upfit body, optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck and passengers other than the driver. Dodge Ram Trucks used to tow trailers over 2268 kg
(5000 lb) loaded weight must be properly equipped and trailers over 454 kg (1000 lb) loaded weight must have their own brakes. Trailer tow restrictions apply. See your retailer for details.
(5)
Maximum trailer weights (estimated) are rounded to the nearest 23 kg (50 lb). The diesel exhaust brake must be used with all diesel equipped vehicles with trailer weights over 4536 kg
(10,000 lb). A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached to the vehicle frame should be used if the trailer being towed weighs more than 4536 kg (10,000 lb) or has more than 454 kg (1000 lb)
tongue weight. Note: Base Curb Weight can change.

Properly secure all cargo.

Figures shown in kilograms (pounds) and are based on the lowest trim level. (2)Payload figure shown must be reduced by the weight of the vehicle occupants, rear upfit body, optional equipment
and in-cab luggage, etc. (3)Payload (estimated) is rounded to the nearest 4.5 kg (10 lb). (4)Maximum trailer weight ratings include cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be decreased by the weight
of rear upfit body, optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo in the truck and passengers other than the driver. Dodge Ram Trucks used to tow trailers over 2268 kg (5000 lb) loaded weight must be
properly equipped and trailers over 454 kg (1000 lb) loaded weight must have their own brakes. Trailer tow restrictions apply. See your retailer for details. (5)Maximum trailer weights (estimated) are
rounded to the nearest 23 kg (50 lb). The diesel exhaust brake must be used with all diesel equipped vehicles with trailer weights over 4536 kg (10,000 lb). A gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch attached

answering the following 10 questions. For additional information, see your Dodge Retailer or visit dodge.ca.

Fill out this worksheet and review it with your sales consultant while choosing your new vehicle.

1. Will your tow vehicle be used exclusively for towing, or double as a personal or family vehicle?
______________________________________________________________________________________________
