Great to see Durangos being used to their potential!

Looking forward to adding a pic of my new-to-me 2017 Citadel Platinum hemi towing my 2015 Coachmen Clipper 17bh.
I’m quite intimidated by the set-up procedures for my basic tekonsha brake controller and eq2 hitch. The dealer where I bought the trailer took care of setting up the 4runner. Where and how did y’all attach the brake controller? One pic looked like it was velcro’d on? That would be nice because the thought of drilling in to my new vehicle makes me just a wee bit queasy!
I hope to pick up the car on Friday and do the setup on Saturday, so any hints/tips/pics/links are appreciated!
How were the downhill grades especially on Interstates?Just got back from a 10,800mi road trip across the country towing a 6200lb trailer View attachment 99592 . My RT was exceptional, especially in the Rocky Mountains and Tetons where the grade exceeded 10%.
What is your tongue weight? We are picking up our trailer tomorrow and the trailer dry weight is 4960 but the tongue weight is listed at 790. It’s a V nose trailer with the kitchen in the V. I’m a little concerned about it. I have the HEMI, but I’m AWD so I have a limit of 720I have a '14 Citadel RWD HEMI with tow package.
I just finished a family road tour with our Shadow Crusier 280QBS. We did Estes Park, CO, then Tetons/Yellowstone, and Mount Rushmore. I went to a CAT scale the first morning of our trip (fully loaded) and the trailer weight was around 6800lbs (Trailer Axle was 6080). The vehicle weight on the two axles was 6880 lbs. . Our total GCW with the wife, 4 kids, fully fueled, trailer and cargo was 12,960 lbs.
I know we were over the 740 lbs tongue weight, but under the 7400 lbs tow rating, 7100 GVWR, and 13,100 GCWR. Although we were close to max recommended capacity the Durango pulled very well through the mountains. The picture is at the north entrance at Yellowstone (Mammoth Springs).

Good size trailer, how long is it? Just got our Durango with the tow package and definitely hoping to have it hooked up to a trailer for next years campingI've been lurking in this forum for most of this year. Totalled my wifes Caravan right after Christmas, so we were looking for a new family car for her. A lot of research and test drives settled us on a Durango. Pickup up a used 2015 Citidel Hemi in Feb. The Hemi was a priority since we were planning a camper trip to Yellowstone this year. Pickup up this camper in April, did a couple local camping trips to get use to the tow, and work out any bugs.
The Durango did great. Over 6k miles in two weeks, maxed out, actually a touch over at 13,280 gross. I set the camper up with a Hensley Arrow hitch, which I attribute to the totally benign manners of the camper. Got 8.5mpg average while towing.
