Towing Capacity For Hitches That Fit 2005 Dodge Magnum
Question:
Hi, I have an AWD Hemi Dodge Magnum with a 3800# towing capacity, and were looking at travel trailers. The hitches you sell seem to be rated 3500#. What would you suggest for a hitch to handle 3800#? Thank you.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The trailer hitches we offer for your 2005 Dodge Magnum, like part # 36548, are rated with a 3500 lb weight capacity. We currently do not offer any that would fit your vehicle with a higher capacity.
I recommend you check your owner's manual or with your dealership to verify the maximum towing capacity. From what I was able to find with some research on your vehicle I found that it is rated with a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. You will not want to exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle, and keep in mind that you do not want to exceed the lowest rated component, whether it is the hitch, vehicle, or carrier.
