I have a 2005 Magnum. I would to tow my motorcycle. The trailer is a basic flat open trailer with single axle. Weight of bike and any equipment would be around 1300 lbs. Any one see any problems?

Thanks

Make sure your shocks, rear differential grease and tires are in good condition before you do this. It's a 12 year old car. If it's a V-6, I wouldn't attempt it.

Is it an R/T (5.7), 3.5 or 2.7 and RWD or AWD? 2.7 don't bother. 3.5 will do it, though better if you have AWD. Obviously 5.7 would be the best candidate, especially if it has the nivomat rear shocks.

It's a 3.5, rear wheel drive only. Now I need to find the right hitch.

Thanks everyone for the help.
