Well, I ain't got nothin to tow, so my R/T ain't towing anything...Now. But
the previous owner towed 6500lbs worth of boat and trailer from WVa to
Canada several times with zero problems. This also included many towings of
the boat and trailer to and fron lakes. If I ever have anything to tow, as
long as it's under 6500lbs, I won't worry too much.

I do haul though, a 1275# hauling capicity is good!
