I believe trailer and boat is just about there. it does feel a bit heavy overall especially in stop and go traffic, but once switched to tow mode it handles fine, biggest problem is of course the bump in consumption.

Since the trailer has independent brakes to 4 of the 6 wheels if actually performed the 60 mile trip pretty well.

Suspension wise, the harder suspension of the R/T was impressive for this type of application. I was worried regarding clearance due to the weight but even thru some bumps at highway speeds nothing touched anywhere.

Definitely recommend for towing this type of weight.

Pics of my Crew bought 3 weeks ago. 750 miles on her so far. Nerf bars, mirror covers and splash guards installed.






Baking in the sun after clay bar and 2 coats of Liquid Glass. I'm relieved there are *******ly no clear coat scratches / swirl marks after 3 months of sitting on the dealer lot.

I guess I'd better check in since I've been posting for a few weeks. I finally picked up my 2013 R/T last Friday. Decided to go for "last year's model" after getting much friendly advice here. There were a few things that were "going away" in 2014 that I wanted. I found one (230 miles away) equipped just the way I wanted. I'm in middle Tennessee and can say that these vehicles don't stick around very long.

Now I'm hoping that this one proves to be as reliable as it is fun to drive. Only have 400 miles on it and already thinking of what I can mod.

Thanks guys......the black wheels look great on the black DD. I'm usually a chrome addict but I am really liking the blacked out look. SLAINTE06--what wheels are on yours?
