Regular Cab as Tow Vehicle

I would recommend having it at stock height but let me see if I can get Andy or Dan to chime in on this. They tow more than anyone I can think of.

I don't tow with mine, but I'd figure that the suspension is so stiff, as long as you kept the tongue load reasonable, you shouldn't have too much trouble.

If you value towing performance over high performance I have one word of advice - Cummins

the truck weight is one thing - though i've hauled 10k + i don't recommend it. but 6k or under, all day every day.
i can't compete with a viper truck towing a viper truck, but i will challenge andy (the pic above) to an all out "towing" war.

i've worked every one of my trucks and i pull the race car to the track, the tool trailer to the jobsites, and everything in between.

but even i will attest, don't plan on hauling a bobcat to the jobsite in a 10 (not that that may or may not have happened)...

bottom line: stay aroung 5-6K and you're fine (without e-brakes)...

if you have any specific questions, PM me or andy and we can let you know ever so gingerly if you're an idiot or not

Nice! I am an ignorant to towing. What kind of tires are required for it?

Sorry to revive a old thread but I've been reading a lot of posts about towing with the regular cab and seen a few say you can tow OK with it up to about 6k if easy on clutch. But I have a 35 foot aluminum camper that has a weight if 5340 according to the registration and would like to know if I could possibly use a RC srt

I towed many Viper race cars with a Ram SRT10 Single cab. Dodge did not rate the Single cab model for towing as the T6060 was not rated for it. The clutch can be an issue, don' t get stuck on a steep hill as slipping the clutch can be bad with a load. Also, these engines are knock sensitive and can burn up pulling a long grade
with a bad tank of gas. I had to replace head gaskets once, as the heads had "lifted" due to detonation.

I next used a QC SRT truck to tow a client's race Viper to numerous events, it was perfect. Towed a 10,500
pound enclosed trailer at 75mph without any issue. Pulled the Baker grade to Los Vegas with plenty of power.
problem was I could pass anything but a gas station.

A Cummins truck is the way to go, but less cool factor.
