Still truck shopping, and looking at one of these Power Wagon 2500's. Can you ttow a heavy trailer with these as equipped?

Heard the damdest thing from a Mopar mechanic... I guess the new trucks you can't pull the oil filter out the usual way. You have to tip the filter over and pull it out the inner fender on the new diesels....WTH!

I don't see a trailer towing package listed anyplace, only the tow mirrors. Sounds pretty light duty to me. I'd rate it at the bottom of the 2500 towing capacity.

seems priced a little high for a 2018? then again I have been out of the market for awhile, if it has tow mirrors should have tow pkg, should be good for at least 10,000 lbs. I tow 28 ft triple axle enclosed with 4400 lb b body and fully loaded with tools and spare parts, with 2017 6.4 reg cab 8 ft bed 4x4
10-12 mpg

PW's never sell cheap. I like the 2019 plus 6.4 trucks for the 8 speed ZF trans.

what is considered "heavy"?

I'm thinking that a truck set up for off-road - soft, long-travel suspension, higher center of gravity - would be a poor choice for heavy trailering stability.
Whether Power Wagons fit that description, I don't know, but it's something to look into.

I have an 18 PW. I tow a 12k lb camper. I have onboard air and bags out back and use an equalizer hitch. In Phoenix we are about a thousand feet about sea level and majority of my camping spots are about 7 thousand feet about sea level. This is done in about an hour and half of travel. Pretty much constant climbing and this is when it can be 110 outside.

The 66rfe is okay. I did the DNJ billet VB channel plate and the Sonnax upgrades. Truck is on 35" M/T mud tires and I did change to 5.13 gears. It is not the perfect truck for towing but when you like to get away from people and have to get a trailer in pretty offroad/remote places it does pretty good.

I put money down on a 2017 PW gasser....Planning my road trip down to get it. As far as I am concerned, Cummins in their horribly thought out emissions system, ruined their diesels. Not buying another unless its deleted or pre-emissions...
