Towing

[Debbieb]

I am thinking about purchasing an Dynamax Isata 3 series. I have heard conflicting information regarding being able to tow. Does anyone have one and tow?

I don't have one but the GCWR - the GVW would tell you what you could tow. The fact that the baby diesel is already working pretty hard likely would make pulling anything unpleasant at best.

I don't have one but I did a Google search. This is what I discovered:

A look under the DX3's hood reveals an impressive powerhouse that showcases the Detroit DD8 7.7L 375 HP engine and the Allison 3200 TRV automatic transmission, resulting in remarkable torque (1,050 lb. -ft.) and towing capacity (20,000 lbs.).

A max towing capacity of 20,000 pounds should give you a wide range of towables. A base 2 door Wrangler is just under 3,000 lbs.

Safe travels

If you could get 375hp in instead of 188hp from the 3.0L diesel V6 in the Sprinter based chassis, I suspect many would be lining up but that's not the case with the Isata 3 Series the OP is looking at.
