RIP Dodge Dakota 1987-2011

Gotta disagree with that statement. My dad's '02 Quad Cab 4.7 + 5-speed stick had towed my Demon and also towed my '84 Caddy Limo with no problems at all. He said the 4.7 had plenty of power for towing.

Guess you have never towed with a 5.9.

345 ft.#s of torque @ 3000 rpm
versus
295 ft.#s of torque @ 3600 rpm.

Huge difference of 50 lbs at 600 rpm lower in the range.

A High Output 4.7 makes 330 @ 4000 rpm.

I'll out-tow a 4.7 anyday.
