• Can 2000 Dodge Durango with 5.9 Liter be Flat Towed
  I did some checking on your 2000 Dodge Durango and found that it is flat towable. If it's a 4 wheel drive model it's good to go as long as you follow the guidelines in the manual, if it's a 2 wheel drive you'll need to use a driveshaft disconnect. For a base plate kit you'd then want the part # 246-5. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar...

• Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Dodge Dakota
  You will first need a tow bar and base plates. The tow bar will fit into the receiver of the motorhome, and attach to the base plates once they are installed on the Dakota. The Roadmaster Falcon 2, part # RM-520 is a good mid-priced option. Either base plate kit # 246-5 or # 246-6 will work with your Dakota, although the 246-5 is compatible with all the tow bars Roadmaster offers. You will also need safety cables, if you do not already have them. Roadmaster offers a coiled set that works...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Dodge Dakota Behind an RV with a Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar
  It looks like you can flat tow a 1999 Dodge Dakota 4x4 if it has a 4 cylinder motor and manual transmission. I cannot verify if any other versions of this truck can be flat towed. You would have to consult the owner's manual. If you end up with a model that can be flat towed then for base plates use # 246-5 or # 246-6. These base plates are compatible with your Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, # RM-522. For safety cables use # RM-645 if you do not already have some. For lighting I recommend...

• Can I Use CURT Front Mount Hitch To Flat-Tow My 1999 Dodge Durango Behind Motor Home
  I cannot recommend using a front mount hitch on your 1999 Dodge Durango to flat-tow it behind your motor home. A front mount hitch is not designed to be used to flat-tow a vehicle and it would not be safe. To flat-tow your 1999 Dodge Durango, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, lighting or wiring, safety cables, and a supplemental braking system. For a base plate kit, I would recommend Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 246-5. The XL base plate kit features removable drawbars,...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Dodge Durango
  If a vehicle owner's manual says that it cannot be flat towed this usually just means that it cannot be towed in stock form and may require some modifications before it can be towed, such as addition of a transmission lube pump or a driveline disconnect kit. 2WD versions often need a driveline disconnect or must use a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. I checked with Roadmaster and they show the vehicle can be flat towed. However, I could not find a complete Dodge owner's manual online so I suggest...

  Yes, the RoadMaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar with Lunette Ring, item # RM-581, and the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 246-5, would be a great option for you flat towing your 1998 Dodge Dakota.
