You will find that the durango will suck alot more fuel towing than your ram did... I went from an 09 Ram to a 13 Durango and thought the durango would be more aerodynamic with the trailer behind, but the loss of the 30 or more hp really hurt. It will tow but it doesn't have anywhere near the top end power that the ram had.

Thanks for the info! I ended up using the Recall listing link with my VIN to get the listing of options and it confirms my D has the Trailer Tow Group IV and load leveling, along wtih the engine oil cooler and heavy duty engine cooling. The load leveling was listed in the Optional Equipment section rather than the standard equipment section.

According to the dodge website, load leveling is standard equipment across all trim models. It says standard, so I take that to mean regardless of whether you have the tow group or not. Even if people don't tow, there's still times where they may have some payload in the truck, 6 passengers, a lot of gear, etc, so it makes sense to have load leveling across all trim packages. There's nothing special or complicated about this load leveling system, it's just a certain type of shock absorber on the rear end.
Doesn't surprise me that your salesweasel didn't know. It's amazing how little some of these people know about the product they sell.
