This time of year I tow a 2-place snowmobile trailer almost every
weekend. I also tow a flat bed or tow dolly on a regular basis with
whatever cars I pick up on it at the auction. My Dakota tows just as
well if not better than my 96 Chevy 350 that it replaced. I have the
4.7L auto in my '00 QC. All stock at this point except for a K&N filter
and a smooth intake pipe I made to eliminate the intake baffle. Once I
get my web page set up I will post some pics. I ordered a JET chip(any
experience with them?) this week and soon (maybe over the summer)I plan
on installing a Gibson exhaust.
