mdewitt71 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have the 6cyl. SXT no trailer package...just a Curt Hitch. I towed a tent trailer fully packed even with the water tank filled without any issues. Pulled nice. Also pull a boat often (approx 1500+ lbs) without issue. I have a 2010 Journey SXT V6 FWD model with the oil cooler in it. I am installing a hidden hitch kit tomorrow and an electronic brake conroller. Good to hear how yours performs, I hope mine pulls my 1600lbs Flagstaff pop-up fine. I have after market brake pads and disks as well so it will help in the break wear too.......

I can turn a wrench Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Usually a vehicle with a tow package has a larger radiator, oil cooler, transmission cooler and some times beefed up suspension parts (shocks struts springs etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanbrandon Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 While the 2009 Dodge Journey AWD, especially with the Trailer Tow Package, is capable of towing, it's essential to consider the weight of your tent trailer/pop-up. The Journey typically handles moderate towing well, but it's advisable to stay within its recommended towing capacity. Ensure the trailer weight aligns with the Journey's capabilities, and use appropriate towing equipment. Checking owner forums or seeking advice from Dodge Journey owners who tow similar loads can provide real-world insights into the vehicle's towing performance and any considerations for a safe and enjoyable towing experience.
