..... been told it’s a NO NO by FCA ... and if you do it’s kills any of FCA warranty....

Yes Doc, it'll be fine to tow back some of those cars and trucks I want from the west coast to my house. Thanks for the offer. I accept.

The owners manual only lists The V6 for towing they probably would void warranty if you had drivetrain problems with the other engines.

Strange as it may seem I wouldn't doubt if it's because of things like alternator capacity, cooling capability (engine and transmission) and even wiring harness? Usually a manufacture installs a larger capacity alternator, trans and engine cooling system, etc., when a tow package is ordered and without it the manufacture does not want to take on the liability should something go wrong. It's not really "extra" capacity with a towing package but capacity that equals what is demanded when towing. Doc I would bet that if you added all of the wattage demand of every electrical component on your car at full power, wipers at full speed, high beams, brake lights, running lights (or 4-way flashers) audio system, glove box and interior lights and I mean everything being on at once, the total would be pretty close to the total capacity of the alternator that was installed on the production line. Not less but very, very close to the total that could ever be demanded of the original alternator. That's a reason the manufacture might be saying it should not be towed with and if you do, and something goes wrong (little likelihood that something would IMO) then don't hold us liable. Their CTA (Cover Their A$$) way of putting on the minimum cost production alternator, cooling system, small capacity battery, wiring harness, etc.,.

Even back in the day they had towing packages for Mopars and for what ever reason you couldn't order it on the A12 package '69 B-bodies? An A12 440 IMO would have no problem towing but was it that it only came with a 4.10 ratio rear gear or standard with a smaller group 24 battery?

This one was funny to me but when I restored my '68 Road Runner I worked on trying to get my front bumper running/parking lights to stay on with the headlights like I remembered my back in '69 Road Runner parking lights did. After many attempts I realized the '68 RR had four side marker lights and the '69 had no side marker lights but reflectors. The standard low watt output alternator would not support the extra bumper parking lights, side marker lights and headlights so one or the other had to go with the headlights on......."strange as it may seem"

lMop ! .... you’ll need a diesel dually and a open 6 car hauler TO BEGIN with your desires !

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

B13 !! ... I’m not talking about what a 3500 Ram might TOE here !

just something that might weigh 1500 lb TOPS !

Electrical demands ? Very minimal I think !

Well you had to bring it up, no you can't TOW.. and you must limit the amount of TOE you put in it to 1145#, or electrical demand could be high😎.

New title alert for Doc!!!

Beware tBoobies ! ... I’ll reVive that other post !

That's from a rolling Stones song...You and Mick Jagger gots to be about the same age...

I guess we ALL KNOW NOW what the preference is of the from the northern frozen wasteland is !

Rock on Doc...

Seriously, enter at your own risk.

Oh my goodness... I’m oUta HERE !

Got a date with a gal from the old folks home?

DAMNit tBlooper ... I cant RESIST...

at least she’d be a chick and wealthy to boot T !

Careful Doc..."She" may be bigger than you....You're kinda like Don Knotts...The Incredible Mr.Limpett..

Don Knotts ? ... I guess you like em petite !

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.
TRAILER TOWING
Manual Transmission – If Equipped
Trailer towing with this vehicle is not recommended.
In this section, you will find safety tips and information
on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do
with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer, carefully
review this information to tow your load as efficiently
and safely as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements
and recommendations in this manual concerning vehicles

Pages 320-332 deal with towing.... much of it generic & clearly not Challenger specific.
