Towing capacity '03 AWD Durango Plus
I have a 2003 AWD Durango PLUS, (4-hi/4-lock) 4.7L and am in the market for a travel trailer. I need to know my towing capacity so I don't buy a trailer that is too big? I've done a bunch of research, but none of the numbers i've found specifically refer to the AWD model and I didn't know if that affected towing capacity. I live in Denver, CO so will be traveling into the Rockies a bunch. I also have the factory tow package, but not sure what Class it's rated at, but based on internet research, I think it's Class IV

At the top of the section is a "Sticky link" for a DIY and in there is all the towing threads you need, about 1/2 way down: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...wers-faqs.html
Depends on whether it has the towing package. Here is what the 2003 D is rated at:
Tow Limit (lbs.)
Durango 2WD 4.7L V-8 (f) 4650
Durango 2WD 4.7L V-8 (g) 5950
Durango 2WD 5.9L V-8 (f) 5850
Durango 2WD 5.9L V-8 (g) 7550
Durango 4WD 4.7L V-8 (f) 4400
Durango 4WD 4.7L V-8 (g) 5700
Durango 4WD 5.9L V-8 (f) 5600
Durango 4WD 5.9L V-8 (g) 7300
(f) 3.55 axle ratio
(g) 3.92 axle ratio
2003 ratings were reduced from 2002 ratings partially based on Government regs. If the above works for your needs, the 2002 will meet or exceed those figures.
