Whomever you heard that from might be referring to towing with the actual bumper such as on a truck that has the hole for a ball. Those set ups are generally rated for a maximum of 3,500 pounds. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75713 when installed on your 2013 Dodge Durango will have a capacity of 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 900 pounds tongue weight. When used with weight distribution it is rated for 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight.
Since both the hitch and the vehicle are rated... view full answer...
As long as your camper's frame is made of steel and the manufacturer approves use of a weight distribution hitch such as the Blue Ox Sway Pro # BXW0750 you won't hurt the trailer by installing it but you also won't get the best performance from it if the spring bars are rated so much higher than your actual loaded trailer tongue weight.
The actual fully-loaded trailer's tongue weight (TW) should fall in the middle of the system's operating range. If the tow vehicle has any cargo behind... view full answer...
The length of the ball mount used in a trailer hitch does not affect the amount of tongue weight (TW) applied to the hitch ball by the trailer, but it does affect the amount of stress applied to the hitch's receiver tube by the ball mount.
A very long ball mount would apply MORE pressure to the hitch tube than a shorter one, much in the same way that adding a cheater bar to a tire iron (to make it longer so you have more leverage) will allow you to put more pressure on the lug nut.

I was able to get the dimensions for you of the Replacement Lid for Camco RV Polyethylene Propane Tank Cover # CAM40567.
As you can see by the diagram I made, this lid measures 12 inches by 5 inches. view full answer...
Typically a travel trailer that has an unloaded tongue weight (TW) or dry hitch weight of 410-lbs will have a loaded TW somewhere in the 600-650-lb range by the time you fill your water and propane tanks and load your supplies and recreational equipment. A WD system rated for up to 1200-lbs such as the Pro Series # 49570 would be too stiff for a 600-lb TW.
If this is your actual measured TW figure (we offer a handy scale to make it easy to check, part # e99044) then lighter-rated replacement... view full answer...

The Stromberg Carlson # SC88VR Base Pad Extreme has a 6000 lb capacity. Since your travel trailer weighs 6500 lbs, the trailer's tongue weight would be 10-15% ore that, which would be between 650 and 975 lbs which is well under the 6500 lb capacity of the # SC88VR. The base pad would work great for you.
I've linked to a demonstration video for the base pad. view full answer...
It sounds like you need a ball mount with more than 3-inches of drop to allow your boat's windshield to clear the bottom of your open garage door as you move the trailer inside. If I understand things correctly it is just the combination of the windshield's height and the driveway's angle that are the issue.
I suggest an adjustable 2-inch ball mount. One of these will allow you to lower the ball and therefore also the trailer's tongue when you need to garage the boat and trailer and then... view full answer...

The bar you are speaking of is capable of towing up to the tow capacity of the vehicle, if the vehicle is correctly equipped. The receiver you referenced, the CURT Class III part # 13072 can handle 6000 lbs, 600 lb TW. When equipped with a weight distribution system, the receiver can handle 9000 lb towing, 900 lb TW.
I did some research on the Durango, and found some references listing the towing capacity at 8950 lbs. Some references state that that figure was only for the 5.7 L hemi,... view full answer...

A trailer weighing 8000 lb would be about twice the 4100 lb towing capacity of your 2001 Dodge Durango, according to what I found online. I wasn't able to find a pdf copy of the owner's manual online, so I'd recommend checking your owner's manual for confirmation of that towing capacity.
The highest capacity hitch we offer for the 2001 Durango would have a 5000 lb towing/500 lb tongue weight capacity like the Curt Class III, part # C13097. Even though the Draw-Tite # 75081 hitch you'd... view full answer...
