Default Towing

Express> I have a 4x8 utility trailer and a 12' rowboat that I tow. They weigh under 1000lbs each. The D drives like they aren't even there. But then again, most cars could too.

Actually the main difference between towing with the D and my old 2002 Maxima is that the car used to get blown around by high winds at freeway speeds with that same boat. Not an issue with the D.

Keep in mind that the 2014 will have a 8 speed transmission.

Ditto to this. I just had a cylinder head replaced in my 2012 D.

& for highway driving with no traffic, I average around 26mph. But to your other post about the cylinder head issue being isolated to a certain batch, incorrect. It's effecting any Chrysler product with the 3.6 in it. My friend with a 2011 had it happen to hers as well.

I'll have to research the 3.6 a little more. The deal with the Ralleye isn't happening anyway, so the search continues. 26mpg on the highway is pretty damn good though.
