Call it what you desire - TOW, Trailering,.. package. It is still available, the only item that has disappeared is the ability to select "TOW" on the round mode switch. In essence, it is in a "manual mode" for towing vs automatic re the transmission. Personally, I never used the tow function when towing a trailer. I do n ot like the overrevving of the engine some feel is necessary. All of the necessary features still come with the option.
Trailer Tow Package (
RPO code V92), which includes the following content (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):
- Factory-installed hitch
- 7-pin wiring harness
- Class III hitch
