If your 1500 ram hemi came with a tow package you already have a transmission cooler. I would compare with others to make sure you have the correct cooler for towing. You can always upgrade to larger coolers but may not be necessary. Some use the 1 ton cooler but that would be seems overkill to me.
No, not unless it has the optional towing package and the trailer is equipped with trailer brakes. Even then this is a stretch for this vehicle. I would not attempt to tow this much weight with this vehicle unless you are towing a very short distance. You need a transmission cooler for sure.
Yes, and with no problem. But for safety, have an extra transmission cooler added to th car, and pull the trailer with the over drive off. This will keep the transmission cool.
you should never tow in overdrive. that will kill your transmission. tow in regular drive or 3
It's always best to get an additional "rider" on your auto insurance when towing a travel trailer, especially one that you don't own. If you do own such a trailer, you would already have insurance on it and would not need the "rider" attachment.
The towing capacity of a 93 Aerostar is most likely 4600 pounds, though some configurations are rated for only 4200 pounds. Towing capacity can vary depending on the type of hitch you are using and the options included with your Aerostar. Things like a towing package, 4 liter engine, auxillary transmission cooler, airshocks in the rear, transmission temperature guage, tachometer and other towing accessories will all help to get better results. We tow a fully self-contained 15 foot single axle travel trailer with our 93 Aerostar. The trailer's empty dry gross weight is 2800 pounds. We are very happy with the set-up. People generally don't use overdrive when towing with an Aerostar.
Contact the company that provides the coverage on the towing vehicle to get quotes for the travel trailer. Because of your existing policy, it will be easier for you to obtain additional coverage with a possible discount for multiple products.

I have a 2003 xterra 4 x 4 and I pull a 4,300 coachman travel trailer with it. It will pull the trailer provided that you have a weight equalizing hitch and trailer brakes. You have to pull the trailer with the automatic transmission out of over drive.
yes but to be sure just check the rating on the towing package
I do not know the towing capacity but I do know there is a lot of tongue weight associated with travel trailers. you might be ok towing a boat of this weight but I would be careful with this trailer.
Need to know the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and the Tongue weight (TW). Gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer fully loaded in its actual towing condition. Tongue weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. The trailer must be fully loaded and level.
While towing a trailer on a highway with a 65 mph speed limit, you should adhere to that limit if it is safe to do so. Make sure your vehicle and trailer are properly equipped and balanced, and maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles. Drive at a speed that is comfortable and manageable given the conditions.
