Just curious, what are you towing your Makai with?

Makai extra weight setup
Just check that your hitch, draw bar and ball are all rated for your max trailer weight. Originally Posted by Arcadyus

An 8500# wake boat and trailer exceeds many factory 1/2 ton hitches.
Just because the drive train is rated for 9700# doesn’t mean your hitch equipment is,

OK thank you for the advice. I'll take it to the dodge dealership and make sure everything is good to go. If not I'll have them upgrade it.
