Expert Reply:
The online owner's manual for the 2010 Dodge Journey indicates (page 367) that the 2.4L version can tow up to 1000-lbs and this includes up to 5 persons and luggage. It also states that the most the vehicle and trailer together can weigh (the GCWR or gross combined weight rating) is 6000-lbs. Since the curb weight of the vehicle is a bit under 4000-lbs this suggests the car could tow close to 2000-lbs. This is shy of the 2600-lbs but not by a whole lot.
I cannot recommend you do anything that is contrary to what your printed manual tells you, but if I were in your place and needed to tow a 2600-lb trailer just 10 miles and only one time, I might choose to take the risk. That decision is yours and I recommend you consider instead borrowing a friend's vehicle or even renting one for a few hours.
