2012 Durango Crew Towing Capacity
I have a 2012 dodge Durango crew with the 3.6 Pentastar engine...it does not have the tow package.
Can anyone tell me what my towing capacity is...I added a hitch and I pull my bass boat but was wondering what the towing limits are without the towing package.
Thanks
David

And re the suspension, if the rear sags too much without it you can just move the weight back on the trailer to reduce tongue weight.

Probably the total capacity with the tow group, divided by 2. So, about 3100 lbs.
Reason i say that is because a class iv hitch on the tow group allocates the weight over both axles. Because you only added a hitch afterwards, you are putting it all on one axle (rear). Look up the gross axle weight. That should tell you.

This is insane.

Tow group has heavy duty engine and transmission cooling. Also has load leveling suspension. V6 needs this. The v8 hemi has all these without the tow group. Moving weight to the back is extremely dangerous as it leads to swaying.
