Has anyone seen any TitanTruck commercials on the tube?.(I havn't yet).
That commercial was comparing standard engines, which for the Dodge, is a 4.7. The commercial I saw was referring to a Hemi compared to the Titan. It never mentioned the Titan specifically, but it was definitely ahead of a canteen green Titan.Batman229 said:a dodge out hauling a titan? You guys sure? Because there used to be a titan commercial where the titan was racing a ram up a hill and winning, both towing something. Maybe you got your trucks mixed up? or maybe dodges advertising department ran out of ideas!
I don't know specifics on the Durango's towing capability, but that has to be an exaggeration. That is more than most half ton pickups, and probably more than every half ton built in the same year as his Durango. 9,800 lbs towing ability would truly be miraculous for a vehicle sharing the same frame as a Dodge Dakota, which is considered a compact pickup.bvstone1 said:Was talking to my brother today who was visiting for a family meal. He has a 2001 or so durango with the tow package. He said he gets asked all the time why he doesn't "trade up" to a hemi durango. He said with his tow package his durange already has a 5.8L and is rated at towing 9800lbs. I wasn't sure if that was right or not... but that's what he claimed. I don't look into Durangos..
I used to own a Durango with the towing package and while I don't remember the exact number, I KNOW it was lower than 7,500 pounds. I would be willing to bet that it was around 5,000 at most.ChuhBaca said:I don't know specifics on the Durango's towing capability, but that has to be an exaggeration.

As I said in my post above on this: Yes, it showed the Dodge out-towing a Titan! And hence my 'false-advertising' comment!Batman229 said:a dodge out hauling a titan? You guys sure?

But the fine print in that commercial indicated it was not the hemi . . . . .CaliforniaTitan said:As I said in my post above on this: Yes, it showed the Dodge out-towing a Titan! And hence my 'false-advertising' comment!
Ummm the trucks mixed up? Ummm no...I have put almost 9.3k miles on our Titan since Jan...don't think I would confuse my Titan for a Dodge...LOL
And yes, I do know the 'previous' Nissan Commercial showing the Titan 'out-running' the Dodge uphill towing the boat.
