    Anybody else towing toys with their 10's? Post some pics to show your toys attached to your 10's. This was my first time towing anything with my truck, rode like a champ with plenty of power! uploadfromtaptalk1438993970489.jpg

    i dont have pics but i hooked my open trailer with 73 Dart drag car, trailer weighs about 6-800lbs the car about 2480 pulled it easily but havent got it on the hiway, it didnt squat the rear hardly at all and thats because mine is lowered so i was worried about that.

    Last week, I saw a lowered 05 QG pulling a tandem axel car hauler. He wasn't wasting any time!

    Check past history here about towing much has already been written about this, there are many things to know, IF your truck is a quad cab with the automatic, it came from the factory with a hitch, BUT the 04/05 RC did NOT...the weakest point is the clutch, if you tow in 6 th gear, put a can up on the dash and as you go down the highway just keep putting money in the can on the dash...you will be buying a clutch...my $.02

    My Dad likes to use mine for towing while I'm in Spain, because he says our other too are too tall and the SRT is just easier lol

    How do you top that?
    Maybe the front of the black truck on a car dolly and that being towed by a 4 door or twin Viper powered motor home

    I believe Tony towed a QC in an enclosed trailer with an RC and there are pictures of it around here somewhere.

    Would be more fun if that was a Lightning on the trailer as I'm sure they need to be towed a lot more often...

    I am going to tow about 10,000lbs with a QC. It's a dual axle trailer with a v10 ford excursion on it. I think I have enough power and brakes, and given the other trucks that use a similar diff and Trans I am confident in that. I would think the point that would be stressed the most would be the suspension. Guess I will see. Not to thrilled about driving that in the rain though.
