Options For Towing A 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Behind A Motorhome

Question:

I am looking for a tow dolly for my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring plus. I have a 2019 Jayco Redhawks 31f. Cant seem to find a trailer that will both haul the weight and the width which says 79.6. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/chrysler/pacifica/2017/specs/pacifica-touring-l-plus-fwd-383348 Please let me know what may work. We havent had any success. Luke

Looking at the online owners manual for a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, you can tow it using a tow dolly provided it is a front wheel drive.

That being said, the online user guide did not specify the tread width. This would be measured from the outside of the tire to the outside of the tire on the other side. A tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy X can accommodate a tread width of up to 78". This is also rated for 4,800 lbs. It looks like the Pacifica has a curb weight if about 4,330 lbs. So while this is strong enough to tow a Pacifica, you will want to be aware of how much weight you are adding to the vehicle with fuel and gear ect.
