Well, though the truck is only a half ton, it's got the HD tow package...
Engine Oil Cooler, Trans Cooler,
The Hemi engine with 390+ HP and 400+ torque, and 3.93 gears... There is a switch on the dash that is a tow/haul mode... It locks out the overdrive, and increases the shift pressures.
I already have the brake controller... and I'll be buying a load leveler with a sway controller. I opted for the four wheel brakes as well...
It will drink some gas but I think it'll tow just fine...
