Towing limit for SRT-10

[enforcer17]

I was looking to get to the track this year, but budget is key. What is the most that the SRT-10 can tow comfortably?

I am looking to tow a 5x10 or 6x12 for set of wheels/tires, canopy, jack, tools, air tank, etc.

I personally have hauled 5900 lbs of quarry process in the bed of my SRT. pulled it nicely. Dont EVER use 6th gear and take it easy and your fine

i towed my 8500 lb camper with no problem 05 qc

No problem towing small to mid sized loads.

 

[Stanimal]

I CANT EXAGERATE THIS ENOUGH. no 6th gear. the .5 - 1 ratio is too much on the clutch and trans. all the rest your fine with

i pull my 6x10 on a monthly basis...sometimes weekly....weighs about 4k....and with the 4.56's it's fine to use 6th...sometimes....

...it a viper TRUCK...

i tow a 25' pontoon boat all the time with mine, i agree with stanimal, no 6th gear if you have the 4.10's.

I tow a 28' enclosed trailer with the race car and all the other items, weighs 9200lbs. No problems but I do have air bag helpers on the rear.

Thanks for all your replies.

What kit did you choose for the air bag helpers?

 

[BCsrt10]

I'll take pictures this weekend as were racing in Vancouver.

I bought the kit from a local suspension shop, if i remember it was made by Firestone, about $400 and took about 2 hours to install. My truck is a 06, so it has the 2500 chassis.

Finally got to post up photo of truck & trailer ready for the track

What's the weakest link for towing with a QC? Tranny? Cooling?

I towed my 4900 lb jet sled behind my automatic qc really well!!

06 rc towing

I want to tow my 24ft enclosed race trailer a 06 RC to and from the track. So im guessing 7-8500 lbs. Haven't hooked it up yet but any thoughts? If it sagged, was going to also put on the air bags. But than i thought it may mess with handling.

Would you pull that load with any other half ton truck? If the answer is yes, then don't be scared to do it with the SRT10. For towing purposes, think of your SRT10 as a half ton with bigger brakes, better gearing, and more torque.

An rc weighs 5200-5500 if memory serves me correctly.
A 24' enclosed is pretty heavy.
