AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.......you talk about the blue R/T towing a
boat.....well it says on the same page in the 99 brochure that the R/T
can........"tie down brackets make securing a load quick and
easy.and,suitably equipped, dakota is rated for trailers up to 3040
kilograms(6700 pounds)- making light work for the long haul"
That damb well sounds like a towing vehical to me.....but if you look down
the page to the yellow section in the brochure,it says differant
the blue truck is a R/T but the tow weight is for a 5.2ltr(318)
The BIG BUT comes now............all 5.9ltr(360) engines RC or CC.....
maximun trailer weight rating........2903kg(6400lbs)
gross combined weight rating....4763kg(10,500lbs)
if you can only tow 2000lbs ....thats way out of the park.....i will never
tow with my R/T,but what a fuck up(and i don't say that lightly) Even the
I-4 has a 2000lbs rating
this is false advertizing and D.C. C.C. whoever sould pay!!!!!!!!!!
