If it has a manual transmission, put it into neutral.... if it has a manual transfer case (or an electronic one with a button to go into neutral), put that into neutral (and make sure you unlock the steer axle hubs).

Your vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of trailers weighing over 2,000 pounds with the Trailer Tow Package." The official Dodge Website (see the link below) lists 6,650 pounds maximum trailer weight with an appropriate towing package installed.
