Which engine is best for my towing needs?

It depends on your trailer weight and how often you tow. For frequent, heavier trailers, many drivers favor a 3.0L Hurricane engine or the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine for confident acceleration and reserve power. For lighter utility trailers and occasional towing, the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine balances capability with everyday practicality.

How do the available towing technology features help me every day?

They bring visibility and guidance to hitching, backing, and highway maneuvers. Camera views and on-screen aids help reduce guesswork, so even occasional towers can feel comfortable handling trailers in tighter spaces.

Yes. The cabin emphasizes quietness, space, and control, and the available Uconnect® systems and combined digital displays keep information clear and close at hand. It is ideal for long highway stretches and weekend trips with family or gear.

Can I get a bold appearance package that still tows well?
