Just hooked up our Retro Whitewater 175 to test tow. Used the WDH, as tongue weight is 380. Trailer dry weighs 2810. Used 3 chain links on the EZ-Lift WDH and ball plate was a 5" drop from the top of the shank. Ball top was 2" below top of shank. Absolutely perfect towing. Plenty of power and the ride in the R/t felt as normal w/o towing. Glad I bought the V-8 as I missed the torque in my 2012 4Runner which was wheezing in comparison. We'll be taking a short camping trip next week and I'll check mpg.

Up 'til now I hadn't noticed too much noise from the Volant, but today with the trailer behind and needing throttle up front, I could really hear it. Nice surprise to have power under foot again with the Hemi. I LOVE this car/SUV/trucklett

I'll have to post some inside shots of the Retro. It's Amish made so the cabinets are all solid wood with crown molding ......it's pretty cool. Love how it "coordinates" well with the Durango.

Used mine to tow my 49' Studebaker truck on a 18' car hauler. Didn't know it was even there. Very impressed.
