Is the R/T a Corvette? I think not. I EXPECT the towing capacity
because DC ADVERTISED that it would tow that capacity. Camaros can tow
2K#, so it's unrealistic for me to expect a TRUCK to be able to tow more?
The 4wd Shelby Durango is lowered by 3 inches and it can still tow
7300#. The new Ford Lightning is lowered a couple of inches and it can
tow 5000#. The Saleen Explorer, which is lowered 2 inches, can still tow
at a regular Explorer's rated capacity (3000#+). These are all
specialized Sport Utes and Trucks, both aftermarket and in-house, and all
of them have modified suspensions, yet they retain their towing
capacities (Lightning excluded, though 5K# is a lot more than the 2K# for
the R/T). But, you're right, I have no common sense and I should've been
suspicious. Gimme a break!
Just my $.10
