WRONG!!!!!

That was what prompted the law suit and eventual buy back of the 98 and 99
R/Ts. According to DC, the R/T was designed to only tow 2000 lbs. They
claimed the 98 and early 99 manuals, dealer brochures and advertising were
all typographical errors.

Subject: DML: R/T and towing travel trailers

I have been thinking about getting a travel trailer to be pulled by my 2000
R/T. I have the 3.55 rear-end. Checking the owners manual it states towing
capacity is 2K. What gives with this? If you have the 3.92 rear you can
pull 6,251lbs. This is sort of confusing. If anyone could shed some light
on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Henry
