  • New Towing setup...w/in

    Well I finally got my car tuned, towed it to PA and thought I that I would share some pics of the setup.

    I got the 04 Hemi Sport about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it handled/towed beautifully! I was very surprised at its performance while towing, I honestly thought I should have gotten the turbo diesel, but was told by many people it was unceccessary and the Hemi would be just fine...they were right!

    Here is the pic:



    Had a great time and really enjoy the fact that I don't have to worry so much about breaking the car...now I just gotta save up and get a nice trailer!

    Beautiful truck. The advantage of the diesel when towing is the torque and fuel economy. I still want the Hemi

        That is a real nice setup. The red/red theme is a good touch! You were right to get the engine you wanted.... when you think about it, unless you are a complete drag-strip fanatic, and tow long distance every weekend, you should buy the truck for "daily driving", not for the occasional tow.

        Good luck.

          not only that, but i personally can't stand the sound that diesel engines make....they're great for torque and fuel economy, but if i was given a diesel engine, i'd trade it in on a different vehicle

          nice truck, knight

            Nice!

            I would have to drop the front a little though.

            I drool every time I see one of those.

              LOL, I'm sure the front is lifted a little because of the extra 5500 lbs sitting on the rear, hahaha.

              Thanks for the kudos everyone! I'm pretty pleased with the setup, now if I could only afford a NICE trailer...the one I want is like 3500.00

              BTW the Hemi is stock...FOR NOW, I have a CAI, exhaust and a few other little things in mind for it...to help it tow better of course, LOL.

                yeah, to help it tow itself down the track?

                  That Hemi setup sounds like it handled the 5,500 lbs without making the trip feel stressful, which is a pretty solid result. For anyone planning similar towing runs, see more can be useful when comparing practical roadside support options. It is always better to know who to call before a heavy load turns a simple drive into a problem.
