This specialized option available for certain light-duty trucks equips the vehicle with enhanced capabilities for hauling heavy loads. It typically includes a suite of mechanical and technological upgrades designed to optimize towing performance and safety. For example, it often incorporates a higher capacity rear axle, enhanced cooling systems, and integrated trailer brake controllers.
The value of this enhancement lies in its ability to increase the vehicle’s maximum tow rating, allowing owners to confidently transport larger trailers, boats, or other heavy equipment. Historically, individuals requiring significant towing capacity were limited to heavier-duty trucks; however, this offering bridges the gap by providing increased capability within a more fuel-efficient and comfortable platform.
