2008 Chrysler Pacifica towing capacity
The 2008 Chrysler Pacifica is published in 3 configurations with a tow rating of 2,600 lb (light utility / small-trailer territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2008 Chrysler Pacifica with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 2007
The 2007 Chrysler Pacifica carried a maximum tow rating of 3,500 lb. The 2008 model is rated 900 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
