Anybody know the towing capacity of a 5.9 liter Dakota?
Hey does anybody know the towing capacity of a 5.9 liter Dakota with 4WD. Not a R/T cause I know they only came in RWD. I dont know of any other boards that cover trucks than this one so I figured maybe some of you guys would know.

Ok well I think I found it on there website its 6600 maximum. Is that enough to tow a car like my Camaro or Chevelle? I know a few people have told me that small trucks like S10s and Rangers are too small to tow vehicles but I figured the Dakota with a bigger motor and a little bigger frame may be able to.

A u-haul two axel trailer for cars weighs 2200lbs for just the trailer. Plus what ever your car weighs, @3500lbs. Total for trailer and car will be max 5700-5800lbs. An S-10 with the 4.3 would tow it no prob, but it would look funny. A Dakota, even though i hate them(had a 00' RT), would tow it great.
