Default Anyone tow with 5.7

Hello anyone tow with a 5.7 Heim in a durango?

If so how does it do?
Are you towing with or without the factory tow package?
Any problems towing without the factory tow package?

I am looking at buying one to tow a 24 foot travel trailer 4300 wet and may 5800.

Earl

PS any tow with the 4.7 with or without tow package?

I towed 3,000 pounds a couple of times with my 5.7L without a problem when our F250 Super Duty was in the shop. It was an easy load but it think a brake assist would be nice as the engine difinitely has the power,

I use my Limited to to loads from 2500 - 4000 lbs and it does great, I run a brake controller on it and it gives no hassles whatsoever going up down hills, around curves and so on. 5800 will be no problem for a Durango with a Hemi.
