2008 SXT Caravan towing question?
Hello have an 08 SXT with a 3.8 and 6 spd tranny and we want to buy a tent trailer this spring.
Question is other than the factory Mopar hitch I had installed and the need to add the factory wiring harness what else is needed? Transmission cooler? Rear air suspension? The trailer is around 2000 lbs and has a 280 lb tongue weight. Thanks Randy |
