Well, at least he asked first...

Seen on another board (you can probably figure it out)...

"Anyone add a camper or 5th wheel to their [Dodge] charger? I have a 15 sxt, considering my options and if it wouldn’t do damage or wear my car."

A Dodge Charger SXT is a 6 cylinder 4 door passenger car. Below is what mine looks like (mine is actually the Rallye model, with 300 HP). I don't know guys, what do you think? Think he can strap a hitch in the trunk? Should he get a slider??

Sure, if he want's to find his Charger on the back of a flatbed wrecker. Why would anyone think they can tow a travel trailer, let alone a 5th wheel with a car/crossover that has no frame under it is beyond me.

It’s got to be a joke, nobody’s that dumb. Oh who am I kidding, did everyone tell him to go for it?

There was a little backing and forthing on weight limits of the Charger and such, but after I posted this, no other posts were made:

"Look guys. If you're going to tow, get the right tool for the job. A Charger is not the right tool. Sure you can use, which would amount to abuse of it, but seriously. Get something that is made to tow, especially if you're talking about a camper or a boat."

Check the sticker on the door. You are probably over payload.

Would you look at that, a dealer that doesn't say you can tow anything on this lot. I guess leprechauns and unicorns really do exist!

Josh pretty well tells it the way it "should" be. I like his videos. He really tries to educate folks about the RV life, it's not all about sales.
