dakota tow a range rover?
I have 2006 LT Dakota V8, and was wondering if you guys think it could tow a 6000lbs. 1991 Range Rover, using about a 1500lbs. car hauling trailer. It would be towing a distance of about 20 miles. Whats the heaviest load your dakota has towed before?

Mine has towed about 6800lbs. It was about a 3 hour trip and had no issues. The terrain was flat of course, but it handled it just fine.

Towed a 4 door gmc jimmy on a uhaul car hauler about 400miles. The overall weight should be similar to what you are towing and I had no issues.

I towed a friends mobile home with complete interior. That thing looked like 10k lbs. Towed it for about 5 miles

You shouldn't have any issues. assuming there aren't many steep hills to deal with.

Lol, well it probably wasnt 10K lbs but it was definitely up there.
The mitsu has the exact same powertrain as the non Hos dakotas so I dont see why we should envy any of the bigger V8s. These trucks can Haul!
Here is a pick of my truck hauling my friends racing cressida to the track.
