Is there anything I can do to my truck that will help its towing capability? I have an 03 Dodge Dakota w/ V8 4.7L. It struggles to keep gear even when towing on the freeway. I have a couple mountain trips planned for summer and I'm not too confident it'll even make it.

old thread, but you may be able to put a tune on your Dakota. I'm running a superchips 91 octane tow tune on my grand cherokee. night and day difference. higher RPM shift points, better fuel economy both while towing and not towing. can adjust for bigger tire size as well. Keeps trans cooler, Its a must IMO.
