I have a Searay 220 Sundecker. Weight 4350lbs. Trailer, 1500lbs, four wheels , disc brakes.
How much of a truck of SUV do I need for this? I live in southwest Ohio, and it is very flat here. Most of my trips will be no more than 3 hours a way , all on very open, flat interstates.
I have been looking at the Dodge Durgano, with the 5.7 Hemi, but I have not been able to find a single dealer who actually knows anything about towing, other than reading the brochure and its stated "Best Towing Capacity in its class." The seem not to understand the second part of " properly equiped"
Most of the Durango's (used) that I find have the 3.55 axle ration. Dodge's web site and brochure indicate I need a 3.93 Axle ration to get to the full 8700 lbs of towing. The 3.55 gives me 7200lbs of towing.
Help!!! What is correct? What do I need. Will the 7200lbs be enought for my needs?
thanks in advance
