Made it home no problem.
The Durango towed very well. It has the same engine as my 3/4 ton Ram did so it definitely has the torque to move the load. Leaving the transmission in Tow/Haul mode and feathering the pedal up hills to avoid down shifting netted me 12.0 mpg.
Considering that the truck & trailer combo weighed about 7500# and my Durango weighs about 4100#, I'm very happy with the towing performance. The trailer brakes and the Takonsha P3 brake controller are awesome. Absolutely no worries about getting the thing whoa'ed up.
I wouldn't do it all the time as the Durango suspension and transmission aren't really rated for that kind of consistent abuse, but for a one off, it performed flawlessly.

Excellent! ( prononciation française, bien sûr!)
