I pull with a Durango

I have a 2011 Dodge Durango for my tow vehicle, like yours it has the 7200 as well. My trailer the Bullet Premier 22RBPR weighs in at 4940 (Scale weight not dry weight). I had the Equalizer hitch on it for a year and just upgraded to the ProPride (mainly because of the short wheel base on the Durango any my desire for a better towing experience). The wheel base on the Durango is 119 inches so depending on which formula you use the longest trailer that you should tow would be around 24 feet. I'm over that because my 22rbpr is actually 25 feet (bumper to ball). Like you I was told I could tow the 26 foot version by a sales person. In short your going to feel it, so for now get a good hitch (I recommend the ProPride if you can fit it into your budget), and drive slow. Oh, and I get about 9 MPH while towing with my Durango.
