Hey just checking towing capacity on my new 2011 AWD Durango Crew without the factory tow package. Dodge site says 5000 LBS but the owners manual says 3500. Big difference especially since most literature shows 6200 lbs. I'll never need 6200 but I might need 5000. Dealer says its $586 to install a hitch. Aftermarket hitches are about $170 + wiring harness on several sites. Question is, will the aftermarket hitch perform as well as the dealer installed version? (I'm thinking they will be the same). Also and most important is towing limited to 3500 or 5000 w/o factory tow pkg??
So far we've put 600 miles going to the beach and back and are really impressed.
