1969 Charger Towing Capacity

[coleman kayak1]

Does anybody know the towing capacity of a 69 charger R/T 426? Also, I believe it has a towing package.

I can't feature that it would be more than a Ton,....... Maybe Less........<br /><br />No Doubt,... It has Plenty of HorsePower,......<br />I think the Rear Springs,+ the Brakes in general would be the limiting factors................<br /><br /><br />BTW,......... You really should Resize your avatar,..........

If it's a '69 426 then it's a hemi and the engine is worth more than the boat prolly. More likely a 383 or 440.

This thread has to be joke, who would tow with a car worth that much money. If you have this car, do you have a clue as to what you have???

Coleman: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t tow anything with a 1969 Charger. You tow a 69 Charger on a trailer very carefully. If a Mopar fanatic sees you towing something with the 69 Charger they might come and hurt you. So I will come and take it of your hands.

Nah...a 69 Charger was built to be flogged. FLOG IT! ENJOY IT! BREAK IT! Learn to drift in it! Everything's repairable. I really hate trailer queens...

I can see the car now rolling up on the auction block at Barrett-Jackson. <br /><br />"Coming up now is a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 426. This car might have fetched quite a price but the owner forgot to take the tow hitch off the car before bringing it here!"

i bet it would be cool to see it towing a new bass boat to the ramp if ya had a matching boat might even give an edge in a car show.

Re: 1969 Charger Towing Capacity

In my much younger days, 30 years ago, I used to tow my bass boat behind my 1969 Mustang Mach 1. <br /><br />Of course, that was before I ever imagined that car would ever fetch the kind of prices they're selling for now at auction.<br /><br />Had I known, I not only would've kept the car and restored it but never pulled anything with it either.

My dad bought a 69' charger brand new. It was black all over with a spoiler. I've only seen it in pics because a week after he bought it he got sandwiched between two semi trucks on the expressway in Chicago in rush hour. Sweet lookin car though.
