I was asked how the Durango works as a tow vehicle for my Airstream. We took the 1954 Liner and the results are: Back from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and here are the results: Average MPG 15.08, highest 16.72 from Williams, AZ to Albuquerque, NM, lowest 12.81 from Orange, CA to Barstow, CA.
I tow at 58 MPH, on cruise control, most grades were taken in 4th with cruise control on, some grades downshifted to 3rd and I manually upshifted to 4th, still able to maintain 58 MPH.
On downgrades the transmission shifted as low as 4th while on cruise control
The Liner weighs about 5700 lbs and the tow rating of the Durango is 7200 lbs.
I am very satisfied with the results and the towing capabilities. No issue stopping, but then I have 12" disc brakes on the Liner.
