i have an 03 dakota ex. cab, 4x4 3.9/5speed//355 gears. i towed my 47 desoto on a trailer for 3 miles when i moved 5 years ago. i live in a hilly area and it was just about the truck could handle towing this car and trailer. i went very slow the whole way and it still struggled. i would not reccommend towing another vehicle for any distance with a v6 dakota.
