I have a question on a subject that i want to gain knowledge about. We recently upgraded our travel trailer to a Jayco X23b hybrid for the additional space. My 19 Ram Classic quad am 4x4 is the main tow vehicle and it does a good job of towing the trailer Especially when having the wdh/sway hitch dialed in perfectly. My wife wants to start taking our 65lb dog on some of our trips. But having a quad cab with two car seats in the back he has no comfortable place to lay down for long trips and the wife will not put him in a crate in the back bed as well. So my wife’s Grand Cherokee WK2 has the tow package and is in spec to tow our current trailer but I was on the border line of it’s short wheelbase. So I traded it in for a New Durango RT Hemi also purchased an upgraded wdh/sway hitch. I decided to take it for a spin with the trailer and I was truly shocked on how well it towed. It felt more stable than the Ram. Was it because of the stiff unibody structure? The center of gravity since the Durango is lower?
The Ram:
Gvwr=6800
Payload=1550
Rawr=3900
The Durango
Gvwr=7100
Payload=1500
Rawr=3900
The trailer weighs 5500lbs wet and is 24.5 feet long from ball to bumper.
