Is the 80% Towing Rule Safe? Often, someone will suggest that a vehicle’s published tow rating should be 80% or 75% of the published towing capacity to provide a safe towing capacity margin.

Almost every Journey trim can tow an impressive 2,500 pounds, except for the Journey SE Value Package (only available in front-wheel drive), which can tow up to 1,000 pounds. Here is the Dodge Journey towing capacity by trim: Journey SE Value Package. Towing capacity – 1000 pounds.

2.4L 16-Valve 4-Cylinder Engine The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine can tow up to 1,000 lbs. With this weight capacity, you can add onto the already great cargo capacity and tow a small trailer for additional storage.

A Kennedy’s superchargers makes it possible to safely tow a heavy trailer or a loaded vehicle. In many cases adding a supercharger makes buying an entirely new tow vehicle unnecessary. Under these circumstances a supercharger is a wise investment and constitutes the most economical way to tow that trailer or race car!

Registered. If you are installing forced induction just for towing, I would go with a turbo just slightly larger than ideal for your situation to induce turbo lag. This way, you won’t be under boost at all times while towing. You will only get into boost when you need it.

Answer: Although roots superchargers have significant parasitic load and do dramatically decrease fuel economy, centrifugal superchargers will yield approximately the same fuel economy as normally aspirated engines, under normal throttle conditions.

Assuming a properly tuned system, proper oil change and engine maintenance, and similar driving, supercharging generally will not shorten the life of an engine, just as is the case with OEM turbocharging (with proper cooldown for turbochargers. A cooldown period after driving is not necessary with supercharging).

Yes. You can Use both. The concept of supercharger and Turbocharger are slightly different.

Supercharger or turbocharger A turbocharger works with the exhaust system and can potentially give you gains of 70-150 horsepower. A supercharger is connected directly to the engine intake and could provide an extra 50-100 horsepower.

It’s very rare to find two superchargers working in tandem on an engine. Many have tried, few have succeeded. A Fox Body Mustang with twin ProCharger F-1Xs affixed to a 670 cubic inch Ford engine, a unit Modeste built himself.

Twin-charging does the same. The supercharger kicks in right away to provide the initial boost of power, and then as its performance levels out, the turbocharger is spinning and doing its thing. Together, their combined performance creates smooth power over a wide range of engine speeds.

Yes. Detroit diesels came with a roots blower and turbos from the factory. They work really well together.
