Has anyone towed 4,500 - 5,000 lbs with their SRT-8? I have a boat that weighs in somewhere in between depending on gas level and gear (w/ trailer). I know a regular GC can tow that much and power clearly isn't an issue, but I want to know if the SRT-8 can truly tow more or whether it should be limited to 3,500 lbs?

Thanks in advance.

There are a couple threas on this but basically yes it can tow more...be careful with the park pin and make sure you have a proper custom hitch installed, or get a normal GC hitch and cut into the bumper. Look up threads by Startech and Kramsay
