Default AR Towing... who's done it?

Towed 2 tows of dirt before no problem

I want to tow a classic Glastron boat between Minnesota & Oregon

The dry weight should be around 2500pds

I have a custom made hitch from an old F-250 that won't be my issue

With a few mountain passes and 2,000 miles will I have an issue

Also, I want to buy a bigger fishing boat that weights 2,500pds with engine

Thoughts?

I hate to go buy a new ram 3500 with a Cummins plus manual gear boxes but I might need to
As my signature says .l.....the AR died at more than 230k miles last February (2016). And from the summer 2010 to summer 2015 I towed other trailers similar in size for a total of 6k miles without issues. No! I had some issues with my radiator which was not doing its job of cooling the engine and tranny. But after I changed it with a new one it was back to normal towing trailers without heating. Yet i have not installed a hitch on the Q5 but i don't think the Q5 will be a better "horse" than the AR. I will see next summer.

In Belgium for work the next 10 days

Might be stupid but if I start a search will I be able to find a trail light adapter from the 13 pin to the US flat 4?

Haven't seen a parts store since I got here.

Thanks guys
