If RWD - likely only a trailer (4 up) is possible..

BUT... you said the Durango alone weighed 5300 pounds.

You didn't mention what motorhome... Many have a 5000 lb receiver - and even if higher - you may find yourself exceeding the max allowed weight of the MH chassis (GCWR - gross combined weight rating) towing it in any manner.
gmc,
This towing info is not true. I tow my 2006 Honda Element 2WD with a manual transmission. The key is the transmission.

Then 2016 Dodge Durango R/T AWD 5.7-L V-8 can be towed according to the 2016 Guide to Dinghy Towing.
