You should be fine. I know a QC 4x4 Hemi tows 8600, and I know the 2WD tows more.

sonny,

Do you have 17's or 20's? If it weighs 7100# empty, make sure you add 500 - 1000# for water, personal items, etc. See if you can find out what the GVWR is for the trailer. That's the number you really need to go by.
maybe this will help http://dodgeram.info/2003/load-tow/1500.html

You should be fine. I just checked on Autotrader and 03 qc 2wd without the hemi will tow 8350. So you shouldn't have a problem.

Autotrader doesn't have the right stuff half the time. I just know for a fact an 03' QC 4x4 tows 8600, and that the 2WD tows more.
