The owners manual only lists The V6 for towing they probably would void warranty if you had drivetrain problems with the other engines.
I tried a BACK DOOR way through the FCA parts dept to get “approval” !!
If they have a hitch available through the parts dept and there’s a listed charge for an install - THEN that might be acceptable. But nothing is available. Does that make sense that a 6 banger would be allowed.... and a 5.7 or 6.4 would NOT BE?
The transmissions in the V8 cars have to be HD.
I’m not looking at doing ANYTHING heavy ... maybe a small boat or jet ski
There was a hitch available from Mopar back when I bought mine in 2010
It was for small stuff... maybe class I
V6 & 5.7 Auto only, but not 6.1
If you crawl under there and take a look exactly WTH would you attach it too?
Not much in the way of solid metal in the last 2ft
Maybe people tore a few clean off the car and they stopped selling it.
SRT's weren't recommended for Towing.,,, not even the Jeeps. (Likely a liability thing)
.
Found this in the 2010 Challenger manual on towing.
